What can I use an edible print for?

Edible prints can be used in SO many different ways! You can use them: 

  • As a wrap around the side of a cake know as a cake wrap.
  • To print large toppers for the top of your cakes
  • To create shaped toppers for cookies and cupcakes (great if you want different shaped toppers to the usual circles!) 
  • To create wafer paper flowers
  • Stick them onto some flowerpaste to create hard ‘stand-up’ toppers for your cakes.  

Can I cut the edible print?

Yes of course! All edible print products can be cut using clean scissors.

Icing Sheets are attached to a plastic backing sheet and you can cut the sheet to size using scissors whilst it is still attached to the backing sheet, or if you’re using a cutter, remove the icing from the backing sheet and then attach it to a piece of rolled out sugarpaste before cutting, this will give you a nice clean cut using cookie or sugarpaste cutters.

Wafer Paper can be cut directly with a clean pair of scissors – it is a little more fragile than the Icing Sheets so you’ll need to be careful.

You can cut all edible prints using metal paper punches too 🙂 

How do you use Icing Sheets?

Icing Sheets are supplied on a plastic backing sheet. To use the sheets, gently peel the icing from the backing sheet. We recommend placing your icing sheet onto a sugarpaste covered cake for the best results. You can place your icing sheet straight onto the cake – use clean brush to brush water onto the sugarpaste and gently press the icing sheet into place. 

If you want to make individual toppers to place on cupcakes or cookies, roll out a piece of sugarpaste and gently brush the surface with water, gently press the icing sheet in place, then use your preferred cutter to cut the shapes you desire.

How long will the Icing Sheets last?

Icing Sheets are all printed on demand and will last at least 6 months if stored correctly. Over time, you may find the colour deepens and the sheets become slightly firmer.

How should I store my Icing Sheet?

Your Icing Sheet will be posted to you in a sealed bag and envelope, we recommend keeping your sheet in the bag and envelope in a cool dark place until you wish to use it. Exposure to heat and light may affect the quality of your print.

Do not allow your print to get wet – the image is printed onto the surface of the icing and will smudge if it gets wet.
