Hi all  I have question is rice paper and wafer paper the same?

As far as I know they are the same thing. Just make sure you don't buy rice paper for making Vietnamese salad rolls, that is not the same thing.

AWafer paper and rice paper seem to be the same thing because I've purchased both online and they appear identical in taste and texture. Also, It is located in the scrapbook section of a more craftstore but I feel like it is slightly different the employees assure me that yes it's the same I wonder, is it truly edible?! Also I'm still wondering if there is Any advice on how to adhere painted rice paper to hardened gum paste without wrinkling, tearing, bleeding the color?! Piping a border just leaves my rice paper with painted images so clearly unattached and floating above the gum paste. Grr
