Can I apply this to a cake tonight to be served Thursday morning? Will the image melt or bleed at all?

I put the image on about a day and a half before I served it and kept it in the garage in freezing New York until I served it - no bleeding or melting. Just keep the cake in a cool place and it should be fine.

It's best to avoid any possibility of moisture by putting on as close to the date of the event as possible.

We saved our leftover cake overnight the next day the picture was tad bit blurry. So I wouldn't recommend applying it until the day of serving the cake. It applies easily yhough, perhaps decorate everything leaving a blank space for it?

I fixed my cake on a Thursday night and served it on Saturday afternoon. It didn't bleed but looked a little faded.

Cindy, Yes, you can add food coloring to the fondant. You will have to be sure to mix it thoroughly. I have used Americolor food coloring with this brand and it works just fine. Fondarific is also available in Wedding White (brighter white), Black, Blue, Green, Hot Pink, Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow, Pink, Lime, and Teal so you don't have to add food coloring to these. Thank you, Lana

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

I made the cake the day before and it was fine. If plastic wrap touches it the faces come off. It's only good for a couple days. I ordered mine about month before I used it. Just keep in the plastic on a cool place

Use royal icing colored with gel paste food colors (not liquid or oil based) - you can buy the colors in craft stores like Michaels. It only takes a small amount to get very bright and vivid colors. As the icing dries the color will deepen. If you are really ambitious you could use candy like "Wilton Candy Melts" (also found in craft stores). They come in many different colors or you can buy white and use oil based candy coloring to custom make the colors you want. I say "ambitious" because you have to keep the candy melted but be careful not to overheat it or it will seize. Trust me, there is a bit of a learning curve when using them! You could use colored buttercream icing as well but then you wouldn't be able to stack them (without messing up your hard work) if you need to make a bunch and have to travel with them. If you don't need to stack them, that is what I would use - it would be the easiest! Royal icing and Candy Melts will harden so you can stack the cookies if need be. Oh, and to make royal icing (if you're unfamiliar with it), you can find meringue powder at the same craft store and the recipe is on a paper that comes with the container. You can make royal icing with raw egg whites but it isn't really recommended. I hope this answers your question!

soap & water should be all that's needed. I don't know what you seasoned it with but the instructions are pretty clear. If the marks are etched out of the plastic, I doubt it can be saved but if it's on the surface, wiping couldn't hurt. And If your fondant sticks, try a little powdered sugar or corn starch, not shortening. Good luck

It is easy to color. I'm not sure I would use it on cookies. I guess it all depends on the type of cookie. You don't want any crumbs in the fondant. You use a thin frosting to adhere the fondant. It's good for decorations though.

Yes, once it comes to room temperature. It was very easy to apply to the cake too!

Never had a problem, use a spray as well. Came out great. You can also use the Wilton Bake Even Strip Set, to wrap around the pan so the cake bakes a even flat top.

I only use it for cupcake Batter, but Im sure if the filling isn't too hot, it should be fine. There is a rubber ring around the opening at the bottom, so if it's too hot it might melt it. But there's only one way to find out for sure. : )

Slow and steady is how it works. I haven't done anything less than about 1cm. It may get crumbly less than that but will still cut it off. Chill or even freeze the cake a little to help with the cutting.

I did my cake the night before. The image soaks into the icing so I wouldn't do it to early before hand. Night before should be all set though

have not used this myself, bought for a gift. however, i think fondant would not be suitable for covering these. perhaps candy melts in the colors you want would do what you were hoping to do.

It's perfect for fondant cakes. I used a little bit of piping gel and it worked great. If you use water, just lightly dampen it because the paper will melt. Also, water will make the paper curl.

I would spray it with pam. I use the pan for angel food cake, haven't used it for anythiing else
