Edible images on cakes - how to apply them correctly and what you need to know before ordering
What is an edible image?
An edible image is a photograph or design printed with food-grade dyes on wafer paper or sugar sheets. Both are 100% edible and safe for consumption. At NatyShop, you'll find a wide collection of edible images ready for delivery.
Wafer paper vs. sugar sheet
Wafer paper is thinner, more fragile, and dissolves faster in contact with moisture. Sugar sheets are thicker, more resistant, shinier, and tolerate contact with whipped cream or fondant better. It is preferred by professional confectioners.
How to apply an edible image - step by step
- Remove the image from the packaging and let it reach room temperature.
- Ensure the cake is cold and the surface is smooth and dry.
- If using a sugar sheet, carefully remove the protective backing film.
- Position the image over the cake without touching the front with your fingers.
- Let it fall gently and smooth it with your hand from the center outwards, eliminating air bubbles.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying on surfaces that are too wet — the image dissolves or wrinkles.
- Storing in the refrigerator for too long — moisture affects it.
- Touching the printed side with wet fingers.
- Rolling or bending forcefully — it can tear.
