At Rosie D. Designs, icing sheets and wafer paper are both available for edible printing. Icing paper generally produces better quality prints and is used for most edible printing unless wafer paper is requested. It is more pliable than wafer paper and is said to have a better taste than wafer paper. It is also more fragile and is temperature sensitive, ideally it should be stored at room temperature. Although wafer paper does not produce the same quality prints as icing paper, it is more durable. Wafer paper is also great for creating 3D images, such as butterfly or flower cut outs since it is a stiffer material.

The icing sheets used by Rosie D. Designs are premium quality sheets. Sheets are gluten free and nut free. Ingredients are listed below: Corn Starch, Sugar, Arabic Gum, Glycerin Polysorbate60, Vanilla Flavour Wafer paper sheets are made from rice starch. These sheets are also nut free and gluten free.

Images are printed on either 8” x 11” letter sized icing sheets or larger A3, 11” x 17” icing sheets. Printed images are slightly smaller than the size of the actual sheet due to printing bleed lines, where the printer cuts off the images when printing.

Commonly circle images are requested for cupcake toppers, cookies and other sweets. The following lists sizing and how many circles fit on a letter sized sheet. 1" Round Circles (48 per Sheet) 1.5" Round Circles (24 per Sheet) 2" Round Circles (12 per Sheet) 2.5" Round Circles (12 per Sheet) 3" Round Circles (6 per sheet)

Cupcake toppers on chocolate are 2" icing sheet circles with a milk or white chocolate backing. Icing paper is quite pliable and oftentimes cupcake toppers require some type of stiff backing when placed on frosted cupcakes so that the circle holds up and stays stiff. Cupcake toppers on chocolate come ready to place on cupcakes and are the easiest and quickest way to customize your cupcakes. Toppers on chocolate are only available in 2" round circles for standard sized cupcakes.

As long as the images are kept at room temperature, out of heat or cold and stored in a sealed bag or container, they can last up to 6 months. If you are cutting your images and will not be using them right away, it is ideal to cut them and store them rather then storing them and then cutting them. The fresher the image, the easier it is to cut since it is more pliable.

Edible Images are to be kept at room temperature in the packaging you receive them in. Images should be stored at room temperature only. Icing paper SHOULD NOT be stored in the refrigerator or freezer and they shouldn't be placed on baked goods that need to be kept in a cold or hot area. Ideally images should be placed on cupcakes, cakes or sweets on the day they are to be served or when they are okay to be left out at room temperature.

Applying images to fondant is pretty simple. Peel the clear backing off from the back of the image. Dilute either corn syrup or honey with water. Brush this mixture (with a food brush) onto the back of your image, leaving a very thin coat and stick your image to the fondant. The diluted corn syrup and/or honey acts as a glue to stick the images to your cake. Images can also be applied directly to frosted cakes without fondant. Frosting must be completely smooth and still have a little stickiness to it in order for the image to adhere to the frosting. If frosting has ‘crusted’ and is firm, a very small amount of water can be patted onto the frosting to dampen it so that it becomes sticky again and the image can be placed on top.

All images printed by Rosie D. Designs are custom to every order. Circles can be made to any size needed for your project and once circles are printed, they can be cut for an extra fee. At Rosie D. Designs, when cutting circles, a circle punch is used, so if you are worried about how precise your cutting skills are, especially with circles which can be more difficult to cut, circle punch cutting allows for more precise cutting. If you choose to cut your own images, images can easily be cut with scissors or a cutting knife, similar to how you would cut paper.

To ensure your order is ready for your required pick up date, one weeks notice is ideal for medium sized orders. Larger orders require at least 2 weeks notice. At times rush orders can be accommodated, but are subject to an extra rush fee if less than 24 hrs notice is given. Timing and fees for rush orders will be confirmed before your order is placed. Orders can also be placed and picked up well in advance since images keep well for months.

When you are ready to go ahead and place your order and the total price has been confirmed, a payment for at least half of the total is required through email money transfer. Payments can also be made in full as well. This payment confirms your order. After payment is made, you will be sent a preview of your final image that you must approve and give the go ahead for printing. If a balance is remaining, it can be paid in cash when picking up your order.

At this time, we only ship wafer paper images due to the temperature sensitivity and fragile nature of icing/frosting sheets. Shipping prices vary for each order and will be determined before your order is finalized.
