The edible sheets have a shelf life of 12 months when kept in a sealed bag. So you can order yours today even if you don't use it now. Be sure to keep it in a sealed, airtight zip-lock bag. They do not need refrigeration! Keep the image at room temperature, out of any direct light

I ordered mine a week in advance and it was just fine. I kept it in the fridge. Whatever you do, don't cover it with Saran Wrap once its on the cake as it stuck to it.

The frosting sheets melt after less than one hour. I haven't tried to freeze my cake with the sheet on.

According to the packaging instructions, cake toppers should be good for a year. I ordered my son's cake topper in February, his birthday was in March. It arrived fairly quickly. I would suggest ordering now just in case and storing in a room temperature place where it will not be bent or where temperature doesn't fluctuate. Also double check with the bakery you're ordering the cake from to see if their policy allows for outside cake toppers to be used. I was told at the bakery that it was a cross contamination issue therefore I had to put the cake topper on myself which worked just fine. I hope this helps.

I have no clue. It took 2 weeks to arrive and my son's party was long over by the time it arrived. I used a similar product in the past that was very easy. I placed it on the top of the cake and after sitting at room temp for a few hours you couldn't tell it was an additional piece on the top. It looked airbrushed on.

I received the order quickly, although I can't remember the exact number of days, thinking back I believe it took only 4 days from the order date. I still have some in the original plastic container they were shipped in and they are still not stale, I would still use them, and I have had them for well over a month. Hope that helps.

Well it's powdered and sealed in a container. Theoretically it has a long shelf life. There's usually a "best by" date, however I'd use that as guidance only. Each batch is going to have it's own date. I'd call their customer support @ 1-800-BABY123 I know my child loved these, I never could keep them in stock.

At least 2 weeks before your son's party. Shelf life is 12 months. Always keep image stores at room temperature, be sure to keep it in a sealed air thigh zip-lock bag inside the packing envelope out of any direct light, until ready to apply to cake.Natalie

We had it for at least one week. My wife said possibly two weeks. She said to use butter cream icing and not whipped. Make sure you read the sheet that comes with it. It tells you to mist the cake....very important.

Put it in a baggie & keep unused units it in the frig and it will last many months longer after buying. Not the freezer. Let the one your going to use warm-up before using. BE CERTAIN your TRAY is DRY inside before applying also. >I don't see an expiration or sell by date on mine. If it comes out easy/runny it's still good when applying. My extra I haven't used up yet was still good 1 month ago when I last used some. Never got an order that wasn't FRESH. Best it to order/use only what you will need over a 6-8 month period. 35% is the way to go. REMEMBER the key is> DRY TRAYS!

Yes ! I ordered it a month before my daughters birthday last year . You have to keep it at room temperature . Before using it just put it in fridge for 10 min the edible layer pop up to be taken off and ready to put on the cake .

This is whatever texture you make it!! Put it in refrigerated for thick and leave out a little to be loose. It's great for cupcakes and tastes awesome

Mine turned out great. I don't know how long it will keep though. I took it to krogers who baked the cake and they put it on and then decorated around it.

I don't know how long the topper actually lasts, but my baker said after a week the color turns sorta green. I ordered mine for my son's cake about a week prior and it came in a few days before. I gave the topper to my baker the day before I needed the cake, and it was perfect. My guess would be you could probably refrigerate it to help it last a bit longer, if you needed to. Good luck!

Hi! The cake they show in the picture is probably the same quarter sheet cake i got. It is not quite four and a half inches across so you can fit it and still have a written birthday message. It made my son's day and if you are careful washing it will definitely be usable again. How that helps:)

Depending on who you get it from, it usually is good for 1 - 3 years. Be specific when ordering -ask for the newest batch. This time has to be refrigerated! So be sure to ask them to ship with ice!

I put 28 medium sized heavily frosted cupcakes on it but a slight nudge by someone taking a cupcake tumbled the whole thing. I made a 6" topper, found it too heavy, substituted 3 cupcakes. Mine was, however, heavily frosted as well as fondant covered. I really do suggest you spend a few dollars more and get one that will hold up.
