Wafer Paper
MASTERCLASS

Turning Cakes into Edible Art

Welcome! I’m Shirley Yanga, a pastry chef specializing in beautiful, handcrafted cakes and wafer paper flowers. I create cakes that not only look stunning but taste incredible, perfect for any celebration.

But my love for cake artistry doesn’t stop at creating—I also love teaching others how to master the art of wafer paper flowers and cake design. My classes are designed for anyone who wants to learn, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned baker.

Master Wafer Paper Flowers

Wafer paper is one of my favorite ways to add a special touch to cakes. In my Wafer Paper Masterclass, I’ll show you how to make delicate, realistic flowers that can elevate any cake design. Step by step, I’ll teach you how to work with wafer paper, from simple petals to complex floral arrangements. No matter your experience level, you’ll leave with the skills to create something beautiful.

And it’s not just about flowers—I also share my favorite cake recipes, tips for balancing flavors, and tricks I’ve learned over the years. Through my classes, you’ll gain the skills to create cakes that not only look stunning but also taste incredible.

"These wafer flowers are magnificent with Chef Shirley’s great tips and guidance."
"Once upon a time, I sucked at making edible flowers. I attended every course, but I could not get it right. Then one day, @shirleyyangacakes taught me. At first, I thought I couldn’t make them still, but because she’s a great teacher, I built my confidence. She taught me the foundation and step-by-step process to make sugar flowers from scratch. Finally, I did it. These wafer flowers are magnificent with Chef Shirley’s great tips and guidance. I think I’m hooked now. Thank you Chef Shirley!"

“I’m so glad I pushed myself to attend a 2-day wafer paper flowers workshop with @shirleyyangacakes! This is my second time learning from her (first was gum paste 2 years ago). I totally enjoyed myself learning from Shirley. We also spent time chatting as we worked on each petal 😍. Thanks so much for the generous sharing, tips, yummy food, and friendship! Now I’ll practice these flowers and go back for more classes!"
