How to make your own wafer paper confetti in 3 simple steps
Edible confetti is festive, sustainable and easy to make. With wafer paper sheets from Primus Wafer Paper, you can create your own edible confetti in just three simple steps. Perfect for cakes, desserts and celebrations of all kinds. And completely plastic-free.
What you need
To get started, you don’t need much. Just a few basic tools and, of course, wafer paper sheets:
-
Primus Wafer Paper sheets (A4 or A3, depending on your preference)
-
Scissors, a sharp knife or a paper punch
-
A clean, flat working surface
-
Optional: edible color spray, edible ink or food-safe glitter
Step 1: Prepare your wafer paper
Start with a clean, wafer paper sheet. Because wafer paper is thin and delicate, it’s best to work carefully on a flat surface.
You can use the sheet in its natural color, or personalize it before cutting. Lightly spray it with edible color, add a printed pattern or finish it with a subtle layer of edible glitter. Let the wafer paper dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Cut your confetti
Now it’s time to turn the wafer paper into confetti.
Cut the sheet into small shapes using scissors or a knife for organic forms, or use a paper punch for round, consistent confetti. You can also experiment with stripes or geometric shapes. Mixing different sizes and shapes creates a playful effect.
Because wafer paper is edible and neutral in taste, every piece is safe to use directly on food.
Step 3: Sprinkle, decorate and celebrate
Your edible confetti is ready.
Use it to decorate cakes, cupcakes, desserts or pastries. Sprinkle it over plates or party tables, or use it as a sustainable alternative to traditional confetti during celebrations. It creates the same festive effect, without plastic waste.
When the party's over, there’s nothing left behind but good memories.
Why wafer paper sheets are perfect for edible confetti
Wafer paper sheets are ideal for making edible confetti because they are made from simple, plant-based ingredients, have a neutral flavor and are lightweight and easy to cut. This makes them suitable for both professional bakers and creative home decorators.
