ricepaper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'edible material' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'more ready to have cape fashioned' is the wordplay.
'more ready' becomes 'riper' ('ripe' can be similar in meaning to 'ready').
'to have' is an insertion indicator.
'fashioned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cape' is an anagram of 'cepa'.
'riper' enclosing 'cepa' is 'RICEPAPER'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ricepaper that I've seen before include "Pithy stuff" , "Baking base" .)
