I received the topper but no instructions. What is the best way to remove the image from the backing and place it on the cake without damaging it?

If you put it in the freezer for 1 minute it's easier to remove it and place it over cake.

We were in the same situation and weren't able to figure it out. Ended up requesting a refund. Sorry.

Mine didn't have instructions either. I contacted the seller thru Amazon but got their reply after my event. I was able to figure it out for my event, then got the seller's reply. Here is a link to the manufacturers website with instructions: http://www.lucks.com/eng/page/edibleimage

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.

There should be a thin sheet of clear plastic paper on the back. Its not noticeable but you can keep trying and it will come off. Even after it comes off I still had to use glue to make it stay on the canvas.

HiI had to cut down the image to fit half cake size and take frosting design off cake. Mine turned out alright. If u have no frosting design I cake n cut it down it will look good.

Application and storage instructions were included with the cake image. But honestly most bakeries already know how to handle the topper.

I had mine for only a few days, but kept in the poly bag up to a year. Also, buttercream works best, but I suggest at LEAST an hour before serving you should put the topper on, 1/2 hour was still too thick, just over an hour and it blended beautifully. Hope this helps

There were no instructions on the cake. The baker I gave it to, unfortunately didn't know how to put the castle together. So we landed up using only the figurines.

It is okay to order in advance you always keep image stored at room temperature in a cool dark place until ready to apply to cake, then simply removed image from bag and place inside your freezer for less then a minute, to help you remove from plastic backing sheet, then apply to your frosted cake.Thank you.Natalie

sorry for the very late reply. The Edible topper was perfect for a 1/4th sheet cake.

I used white icing. The image looked great. My son was very happy. I bought a cake mix at Target called Duff's Tie Dye cake mix for the actual cake. I only used the blue from the mix and created a cool marble effect when sliced. Duff's mix was moist. The image was easy to apply and, to my palate, had no taste.

Store the cake topper in a cool dry place. Being in this temp. range will make the topper easier to remove.

The best way that works for me is to place in freezer for 1 minute and handle carefully when removing backing but it should pop right off. Since different types of frosting may be used by different sellers you may want to contact the seller you purchased from.

I put it on a very large round cake. I made my frosting blue. I made the cake the day before the birthday and the image turned blue though but my granddaughter still liked it

It is flat but I am not so sure you could stand a cake topper on it alone. Maybe if you put some fondant or some icing on the bottom to help it stick? There is a part where it screws together to the post below that makes the surface slightly unlevel. When covered with food you can not see it.

It's perfect for a cake topper won't get ruined the icing would wash straight off!!

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'm assuming you mean to put the raspberries on the side of the cake? My first instinct was to respond 'no', however, I pulled out my small tub of piping gel and put some on the back of a plastic soda cap and stick it to a Tupperware lid standing up. Gravity has not pulled it down. 1) my piping gel is over a year old so could it be less runny? Don't know. 2) neither surface has moisture as a raspberry or buttercream has. I say, if you have time, try it out with 1 completely dry surface raspberry attached to a part of the cake you can fix if the experiment goes south - literally. I'm thinking it should work. Good Luck. I'm assuming you mean to put the raspberries on the side of the cake?
