I have problem when I apply the edible sheet on my cake. Is covered in fondant and the sheet that I'm using is the one that has to be peel off. I hate it . I'm doing everything that says in the instruction paper and is not working. When I peel it off it break. What I'm doing wrong???

Please HELP!!!!

Anyone?

It sounds like your edible image sheet has dried out to me. Can you print another one out?

I went to a cake supplies store and they print it for me. That was about a week and a half ago. I used it today and the instructions said to put it in the freezer for 30 minutes and then use it. I did it and when I start to peel it off it broke. I'm so frustated.

And I have another question, I have to cut it because one sheet has about 6 images, When I cut the images? After peel off the sheet?

What icing or edible sheet is better?

Apply more moisture to the fondant and it should adhere fine. You just are not using enough water. Moisture is your glue for the image.

When using edible images, it is best to print them, or have the bakery print them for you the day before or the day of your cake making. Keep the image away from heat and light. Trim your image with the paper backing on. When applying to fondant, I put a thin layer of piping gel on the back of the image or on the fondant before applying. Gently smooth with fondant smoother or your hand to make sure there are no bubbles. I would stay away from placing your image in the freezer, as this tends to dry the image out or make it stiff and hard to handle. I hope this helps. Good luck!

thank you girls. I will try it again today. Wish me luck!!!!!! I'm so affraid. LOL

The only reason you would use the freezer is if you are having trouble removing it from the backing. This is generally caused by too much moisture or humidity in the icing sheet. The freezer takes the moisture out just enough, but Cenell is right, you have to be careful as it does make it brittle, but only for a little bit, as the humidity gets back in to the image and the image comes to room temperature it becomes plyable again.

I have put my icing sheet into the freezer but never for more then maybe 1 min ..It should then come right off!

I do the same as fiddlesticks - I pop the just printed image into the freezer for about a minute and it peels right off the paper perfectly.

I also am so happy with my set up - the images are so much sharper and clearer than the ones I used to buy at the grocery store. There is a HUGE difference!

I hope yours is working out for you now.
