I roll my fondant out and then apply a damp paper towel to it. Then take my edible image and carefully apply to fondant. I then trim the excess fondant away....
Here is a cake I did with edible images with the above tecq.

HTH!
I just saw this post and wanted to ask the same question. I've never used edible images or chocolate transfers before. You could never tell with the Spiderman images - wow. Could anyone recommend a place you purchased the images? I love this site.
I just wipe the fondant with a damp paper towel and apply the image.
If the fondant is already on the cake then i do it this way. This is how this cake was done.

If i am going to cut the picture out then i just lay it down as soon as my fondant is rolled out before it gets that little bit of "skin" on it. That is how i did the photos on this cake

I found the Spider-man pictures doing a Google Search. Copy and paste them to the Kopykake program and hit the print button. The images were free.
Just a reminder though, you can't do this if you're selling a cake to someone, it is a violation of copyrights and trademarks. If it is for personal use and NO compensation is received then yes you can do it this way.
thanks for all the how to's. I am going to charge so I guess copying them is out. Can someone recommend where to buy the edible images or chocolate transfers?

the only place to get approved copyright edible images is thorugh DecoPac or BakeryCrafts (that i am aware of) there are some resellers online that get their supplies from these two places and sell it also.
Creative Kitchens can sell to you. Deco only sells the machines for printing the copyright yourselves and they can only sell to you if you have a business license. Also Ebay is a good place. We sell the chocolate transfers that you can customize with your edible printer.
You can purchase the licensed images distributed by Lucks, DecoPac & Bakerycrafts at Kakes4Kids, an authorized dealer. You can also buy directly from the manufacturers with a license. There is also instructions on the site on how to apply and use them with different types of icing.
Watch out for eBay, most of those images are copied off of the internet and are counterfeit and not printed with edible ink and a food safe printer. You can always view DecoPac, BakeryCrafts and Lucks websites to see if the image is actually licensed, most on eBay are not. Edible images ALL have a little smily face with "EDIBLE IMAGE (R)", that's Luck's trademark mark. They will also have the copyright info around the image. DecoPac's images will also have "Mfg. For DecoPac" on them.
Edible images do work GREAT on fondant!
thanks for all the information which will be really useful. Love the cake pics with the stencils. They make a really nice looking cake and it doesn't take that long. thanks for the heads up on copy written stuff.

Do you know if you have to keep the image intact to stay "legal"? Meaning, can you purchase the transfer and then adhere it to gumpaste and then cut out and just use Dora?
Thanks

Yes the image is supposed to be used the way it is sold. Just like the cake kits are supposed to be done the same way that the picture shows (there is a little card that comes in the box with them) It is the way the copyright holder has approved it's use and any alteration could cause issues.
