Rice Paper Skirt

There is a HUGE difference between rice paper and wafer paper!  Make sure you order RICE paper for this project.

Here's another cake I made with a rice paper skirt added.

I dusted it with silver luster dust once it was dry, and added a fancy top border to clean it up a bit.

You can color the rice paper by adding gel colors to the water, dusting it once it's dry with petal/luster dusts, or by painting it after it's dried.

AmeriColor Nifty - Fifty Kit
These highly concentrated soft gel food colors are formulated with the necessary die concentration levels needed to achieve the most vibrant and brilliant shades. Soft Gel Paste colors have a viscosity that offers the convenience of a pour-able gel, making it easier to measure amounts or duplicate shades. Only a small amount is needed to tint icing, fondant, marzipan, gum paste, or dough without affecting the consistency, and it will not break down buttercream or non-dairy icings like liquid colors.
