EDIBLE IMAGE FAQs
Which type of image do I choose?
Depending on what you are making, will determine which type of image works best. Frosting sheets are best for full coverage images whereas wafers are best for cutouts to add accents to chocolate covered treats or to use as cupcake toppers.
What is a wafer image?
Our printed wafers are semi-translucent and best used as cutouts for accents to your sweets. They are crisp and not flexible. If handled too roughly, they will crack. These typically come cut to shape as they do not require a fondant backing and are smaller in size. They can hold their shape on their own thus working well for cupcake toppers.
What is a drink wafer?
Our drink wafers are a thicker wafer paper, custom printed and cut to 3" rounds although custom shapes are always welcome. These are placed on top of your cocktail or mocktail as a finishing touch right before handing it to a guest. The wafer melts into the drink after several seconds with no after taste or change in texture to your drink.
What is a frosting sheet?
Our edible frosting sheets are the most common type of edible image and most widely used throughout the industry. These are full coverage and completely flexible allowing you to form them around cake pops, strawberries or a cake! These are the best option when covering oreos or rice krispie treats as well.

How do I apply the images?
Both wafers and frosting sheets can be applied using a small amount of edible glue. Wafers can also be applied to chocolate treats using a small dab of melted chocolate. Frosting sheets should be backed with fondant before applying to a cake or being used as cupcake toppers.
