Hi

I need help
This is my first time with edible image. The cake is a red velvet with cream cheese frosting covered in MMF. the edible image is on rice paper.
How do i place an edible image on MMF. Do i spray MMf with water or place buttercream on that portion of MMF on which the image will be placed?

Whats the best option, i dont want the image to bleed. the cake will not refrigerated till the time its cute, that is nearly 7 -8 hours from now.

need your suggestions and help.

Thank you

I always print out my edible images on rice paper. To attach them to fondant, I use glucose. I spread it evenly and thinly on the back of the image using a soft paintbrush being careful not to tear it, and making sure to get the edges. Sometimes it wrinkles a bit, so if anyone else on here has any other suggestions, I'd be interested in hearing them. There are a couple of examples in my photos. Hope that helps.

I believe you can also use piping gel or corn syrup, spread very thin if you're using rice paper.

I'm curious to know how your images turn out when printing on rice paper. Do you get good sharp picture quality detail? With the rice paper being so thin, does it tear easily in the printer?
