Cake Edible Instructions & Ingredients
You should be able to peel the icing edible image off the sheet.
Sometimes when the icing image does not come off easily from the icing sheet
you can place the edible in the freezer for a few minutes but no more than 5 minutes which helps to dry it out
more to lift it easier off the sheet.
The edible image decoration is moisture sensitive.
They will be easy to handle if stored according to
the following recommendations:
Instructions for Cake Edible Image
1. Always store the edible image in a sealed bag
that does not have any air in it. Keep it flat.
Store it in a cool dry place. Do not remove product
from the bag until you are ready to use it.
2. Gently remove the Edible Image decoration from
the backing sheet (with image facing up) over the
edge of a table or counter.
3. The Edible Image decoration needs moisture to blend
into the cake.
*If your edible image is DRY, spring a SLIGHT mist of water
or add a small amount of icing to your cake (NOT the
edible image) before applying image so it will adhere
to your cake.
*If your cake is moist, DO NOT add any extra moisture.
Using too much water may cause colors to run.
4. Edible Image Decorations cannot be moved once applied
to the cake. Plan where you will place the edible image,
then apply the image face up onto your product.
After application, gently tap the image down with fingertips
starting from the center of the image and smoothing to the
edges.
5. Store your finished product as normally required for
food safe handling. Edible Image decorations will
not affect the shelf life of your cake and is freezer,
refrigerator and shelf stable if you wish
to place in freezer after the edible has already been placed
on the cake.
*I do not recommend storing the edible in a freezer for more than 5 minutes
before use as this may make the edible get too dry
and cause it to crack. A cool dry area is the best.
You can also place the edible in a refrigerator
up to a week before ready to use on your cake.
