Tips for Working with Edible Image® Designs


Under extreme conditions, such as high humidity, an Edible Image® decoration may be difficult to peel from the backing sheet. If you are having issues peeling your Edible Image® decoration, try these tips.

Edible Image® Decorations • Gently roll the backing sheet over the edge of a table or counter (with image facing up) to loosen the image. • If that does not work, place the decoration in the freezer for 30 to 90 seconds, then gently roll the backing sheet over the edge of a table or counter (with image facing up). The image should pop off the backing sheet.
Print-Ons® Sheets • Place the printed sheet in the freezer for 30 to 90 seconds. • Remove it from freezer and allow it to rest for 5 seconds. • Gently roll the backing sheet over the edge of a table or counter (with image facing up). The image should pop off the backing sheet or peel with greater ease.
Additional Troubleshooting Tips • Save a backing sheet, and use it to slide under Edible Image® design to loosen from other backing sheets. • If buttercream has formed a crust, spray with a fine mist of water before applying the image. • DO NOT ADD extra moisture to non-dairy whipped toppings. • Add a generous mist of water over royal icing. • For fondant only, add a slight misting of water where you will be placing an Edible Image® design.
