General Suggestions for Best Results 

  • For best results, use buttercream or fondant icing. 
  • Use a razor type knife to trim the white edges from the long ends of each designer strip before applying the Designer Prints™ to the cake. 
  • Return all images to the zipper bag as soon as they are no longer needed. 
  • Apply your Designer Prints™ before your buttercream icing has formed a crust. 
  • If your buttercream has formed a crust, use a slight mist of plain water to moisten the icing so the Designer Prints™ will adhere to the cake. 
  • Trim the last strip while it is still attached to the backing strip to avoid waste. 
  • Use a razor type knife to trim the last strip from the bottom-up after applying it to the cake. 
  • When building tiered cakes, assemble cakes completely before beginning to apply the decorations. 
  • To apply Designer Prints™ to fondant, moisten fondant with a brush and plain water only where the Designer Prints™ will be applied.
