Wafer discs are made from wheat flour or potato starch, corn starch and water. The plates thus obtained are printed with edible ink. It is a product that is most of the time gluten-free and vegetarian (you must nevertheless check on the product sheet if this is indeed the case).

No matter the theme of your cake, you have several techniques at your disposal for placing the wafer discs.

Place it on your cake. The simplest way to use a matzo disc is to place it directly on your dessert, no need for other tricks, your Minnie decoration will fit perfectly on your cake, if your matzo disc does not hold you can use a little piping gel . To decorate a cupcake, however, you will need to usemini matzos .

Cut it out and highlight it. We see a lot of cakes with embossed wafers in cakedesign, to do so you have to cut directly from the sheet! It's a little more technical. For example, for a Minnie matzo, cut out the little mouse and stick it on sugar paste with piping gel. Then we reassemble the wafer disc and the character. Minnie will then be in relief compared to the rest of the Matzo.

Cover your cake completely with matzo. No need for great cake design skills for this technique, just use an edible cake outline ! You cover the top with a wafer disc and the edges with the contour and that's it!
