I am going to be putting an edible image on a green background, do I need to cut the image out or will the color show through the non printed part of the icing sheet??

The image itself should "soak" into the icing and the color show through. It would be best if your image has colors that won't get lost into the green.

I have a chocolate cake with an image on it in my gallery, the Texas Hold 'Em, and it shows up pretty well on the brown. Janice

I ALWAYS put the images on a white background. I made the mistake of not putting them on MMF on a colored cake and it was awful. The color soaked through. If you want a crisp, clear image place it on MMF first (just a thin layer) and then put that on the cake.
