Actually it is no longer called 'rice paper'; the proper term now is 'wafer paper'.
Before frosting sheets & edible printers, we used this stuff to make pix to place on a cake. Usually drawn w/colored piping gel.
Since it becomes rather tough to cut thru it's not the best to use on your cake except for small decorations.
Two of the best uses for it are to make fall leaves and/or b'flies.
You can draw on it w/food doodlers or other non-toxic felt-tipped pens or colored chalk.
To make very real looking leaves, trace the outline of leaf then using an airbrush, spray with red, yellow, pink, green, brown, orange (one at a time; any combination). Use a very light coating of color. The wafer paper will curl up. Cut w/scissors. It is totally edible....very similar to the 'host' used in Catholic church for communion.
