Icing Image Instructions

Have a plain just-frosted cake ready. Do not apply any decorations before applying the image. Frosting should be butter cream, or common store-bought ready-to-spread frostings. For best results, use a white frosting where the images are to be placed.
Frosting or icing should not be dry or have a skin.
Remove Icing Image from bag and leave out in normal room conditions for about 15 minutes.
Icing Image will peel away easily from backing paper. If any difficulty removing, pull backing sheet over the sharp edge of a table, etc., and the icing sheet should come away from backing sheet. If it is stuck to the clear backing, use a hair dryer and carefully blow hot air on the backing of the image until it starts to loosen (drying the moisture that is causing the sheet to stick to the backing).
Lay the printed sheet on top of your cake by holding ends and applying middle first and then lowering towards the ends. If any wrinkles appear, gently pat image to smooth them out.
Add border or edging of your choice to your cake.
You can write on top of the image with frostings or jellies as needed.

Hints

Images should not be refrigerated until applied to the cake.
Various frostings can be used, however, a very wet Whipped Cream or Non-Dairy Topping can cause the image to fade if left in the refrigerator for a long period of time.
If cakes are frozen, it is best to thaw slightly before applying the Icing Image. Watch for and remove moisture bubbles before applying the image.
The icing sheet will have either no taste or a slight vanilla flavor. It is safe to eat directly off the backing and does not require being placed on a cake.
It is ok to cut the image or images out with scissors or a sharp blade with the backing still on if the entire sheet is not needed.
Do not leave in direct sunlight. Keep stored in the sealed bag face down and protected from damage until ready to apply.
