edible cupcake wrappers were already being explored and experimented with by some creative bakers and food technologists. The idea behind edible wrappers is to reduce waste and make the entire cupcake, including the wrapper, edible and enjoyable for consumers.
There are a few ways in which edible cupcake wrappers can be made:
Edible Rice Paper: One common method is to use edible rice paper to create the cupcake wrapper. Rice paper is thin, translucent, and made from rice starch. It dissolves easily when exposed to moisture, making it a suitable choice for an edible wrapper.
Chocolate Cups: Another popular option is to create cupcake wrappers using melted chocolate. Bakers can coat the inside of cupcake liners with melted chocolate and let it set. Once the cupcakes are ready, the chocolate wrapper can be eaten along with the cupcake.
Cookie Cups: Some creative bakers have experimented with creating cupcake wrappers using cookie dough. They press the cookie dough into the shape of a cupcake liner and bake it along with the cupcake. This creates an edible and crunchy cupcake wrapper.
there might be further developments in this area that I'm not aware of. But even then, it's worth exploring, as the world of baking is continually evolving with creative ideas and innovations.
