We recommend using our edible cake topper images within 2 months of printing. There are no ingredients that will spoil but the compressed icing can become brittle and the colors can fade.

What are the ingredients?
What type of icing works best?
We recommend white buttercream icing. Colored icing (especially darker colors) will show through the image. Buttercream seems to have the lower moisture content so that the image softens enough but the colors don't bleed.
If you want a colored icing, you can do a thin layer of white buttercream just where the image will be placed.
How do I store the image?
We recommend when you recieve the image, take it out of the envelope and verify everything is correct then slide it back in the envelope and store it in a dark, dry place like a cabinet or a pantry.
My image is sticking to the backing, what do I do?
If your image seems to be sticking to the backing, we recommend placing the image in your freezer for just a couple of minutes and that should help it pop off. You can also go between the image and the backing with a thin knife, thin spatula, floss, or monofilament line.
Can I use these images on ice cream cakes?
Yes. We usually recommend taking the cake from the freezer just long enough for the top of the cake to soften, add your image, and put it back in the freezer until you are ready to serve. Be aware because of the nature of the image, the image won't soften into the cake as much as it would a tradition cake.
