[Image after being cut out]
http://media.cakecentral.com/images/articles/icing-image/Step Roll out a mixture of 50% Gumpast / 50% Fondant (MMF is not recommended)
Remove Backing from image
Lightly brush a thin layer of piping gel on the back of the image.
Lay image (piping gel side down) onto your rolled out 50/50 gumpaste/fondant
Using a knife, cut out the image
Carefully lift out
Smooth the edges
Allow to dry completely
(when its ready it should stand up on its own, with no softness or danger of bending)
Once completely dried, turn your image over onto a cooling rack
Using a small amount of royal icing, apply it to a craft popsicle stick
Gently pressthe popsicle stick into the image

Tip:
Make sure you apply the stick the the bottom of your image! Otherwise it will go into your cake upside down
Allow the royal icing to dry completely.

Then stick the image on top of your cake
