Help! Non-Edible Paper And Fondant Question.
Decorating By CandiBakes Updated 10 Feb 2014 , 12:38am by zinger60
Is it possible to print on a regular piece of paper (non-edible) and attach it to a piece of fondant? I’m trying to make a plaque (fondant) and I don’t have a printer for edible sheets. Thanks!!
Is this not possible at all? Or am I not making sense of what I'm asking? TIA
ASo, you want to print a picture on regular printer paper and attach it to fondant to decorate a cake? I am not an expert on what is toxic and what isn't, but I wouldn't be doing that.

Yes, I'm just using it as a decoration...it's not directly going on the cake and obviously it wont be eaten. I just wanted to know if the paper would stick to the fondant.

I have done it before in a pinch and it worked just fine.
I damped a paper towel and gently wiped it over the dried fondant disks I was using.
Placed the round paper cutouts on it. I'm sure you could use a thin coat of piping gel or something....
I also used my extruder and put borders around the dried fondant circles just to make sure it would keep the edges down.
Good luck! And of course, I made sure to tell them they were not edible at all!

Oh, I get it. I have never tried doing that, so maybe someone else will have a better idea, but you would at least have to get the paper wet to make it stick (and probably use something to keep it stuck) and I know that regular printer paper buckles and wrinkles when it gets wet, so I don't think it would work for you.
You're right....I don't know why I didn't think of it (paper buckling). Thanks!! :)

Awesome! Thanks!
When I attach a paper label to a cake with fondant, I use double stick tape to attach waxed paper to the back of the label. Then I use piping gel to attach it to the cake. Using the waxed paper under the label will keep the non-edible ink from coming through the paper onto the fondant, which would be eaten.
