Help! Non-Edible Paper And Fondant Question.
Decorating By CandiBakes Updated 10 Feb 2014 , 12:38am by zinger60
Is it possible to print on a regular piece of paper (non-edible) and attach it to a piece of fondant? I’m trying to make a plaque (fondant) and I don’t have a printer for edible sheets. Thanks!!
ASo, you want to print a picture on regular printer paper and attach it to fondant to decorate a cake? I am not an expert on what is toxic and what isn't, but I wouldn't be doing that.

Yes, I'm just using it as a decoration...it's not directly going on the cake and obviously it wont be eaten. I just wanted to know if the paper would stick to the fondant.
AI don't think the paper will stick to the fondant unless you would like brush it with something that would make it stick. I would honestly not do that unless the picture is edible !

I have done it before in a pinch and it worked just fine.
I damped a paper towel and gently wiped it over the dried fondant disks I was using.
Placed the round paper cutouts on it. I'm sure you could use a thin coat of piping gel or something....
I also used my extruder and put borders around the dried fondant circles just to make sure it would keep the edges down.
Good luck! And of course, I made sure to tell them they were not edible at all!

Oh, I get it. I have never tried doing that, so maybe someone else will have a better idea, but you would at least have to get the paper wet to make it stick (and probably use something to keep it stuck) and I know that regular printer paper buckles and wrinkles when it gets wet, so I don't think it would work for you.
You're right....I don't know why I didn't think of it (paper buckling). Thanks!! :)

Awesome! Thanks!
When I attach a paper label to a cake with fondant, I use double stick tape to attach waxed paper to the back of the label. Then I use piping gel to attach it to the cake. Using the waxed paper under the label will keep the non-edible ink from coming through the paper onto the fondant, which would be eaten.
