I went to the bakery to get a picture printed on rice paper. They don't use rice paper, but they do use icing sheets.

So I looked up directions and found out how to use icing sheets. My issue is the lady blew the picture up (when I wanted it to be the same size). So now I need to cut the image down to where it needs to be.

Has anyone done this? Do you know if it will work? Or should I just go back and get a smaller picture?

Thanks!

if an icing sheet is the same as a frosting sheet, then yes I have cut them before. just be careful when you do it. hth icon_smile.gif

i've used an exacto knife to cut out portions of a picture done on an icing sheet, then adhered it to gumpaste with water.

i would have asked her to redo it as it was requested.

I just cut them with scissors and have no problem. If it were me I would have also asked her to re-do the photo.

i've used icing sheets practically every week. you can cut them with a scissors. it makes it easier when they still have the backing on them. icon_wink.gif
