TOPPERS MAIN APLICATIONS
Oreo Cookies, Hard candy lollipops Fondant and Chocolate – Apply corn syrup thinned with a bit of water to the treat and place the edible image on top.
Whipped Cream – Because of the high-water content in whipped cream, you should apply the edible image as close to serving time as possible. Any type of frosting that has very high moisture content will tend to cause bleeding. A thin coating of butter cream can be added where the image is to be placed to avoid bleeding/fading.
Ice Cream Cake – Mist the surface of the ice cream with milk or let soften a bit before applying the edible image.
Butter cream – Frosting sheets are best if placed on a butter-cream type frosting.
STICKING THE TOPPER TO THE DESSERT
If you are using butter cream or any other harder frosting, the image can be placed on at your convenience, but not more than 48 hours prior to the event. Depending on how wet your frosting is, the image will begin to fade with too much moisture. If you are concerned about fading, place the image on the cake within an hour of the event.
Do not let water come in contact with the edible image before or after on the cake. The sheet will melt and ruin the print.
Start with clean, dry hands.
Your frosting should not be dry. If it becomes dry apply a fine mist of water on the back of the image before applying your frosting sheet.
Remove your image from its backing sheet by gently placing it on a table edge or counter top with the image facing up and roll the backing sheet firmly over the edge of the table to loosen your image.
Lay the edible image sheet on top of your cake by holding ends and gently applying from the middle first, to the ends. Gently smooth out the edible image making sure the edges are touching frosting.
Add border or edge decoration of your choice to finish.
