OK guys! icon_cry.gif I have never done an edible transfer but in an effort to save time on a last minute order I had one made for me at a local grocery store. This is for a 1/2 sheet cake. The woman at the store told me I could trim the excess with a knife. Other than her statement, I know NOTHING about this thing!! How in the world do I do this without messing it up!! Please help! I've searched around through the old postings and it seems like all the q&a's are about how to make them.
Can anyone help???? icon_redface.gif THANKS!

Here are two sites that should answer any questions you might have. Hope that helps.

Is it on rice paper or a frosting sheet?

The sites Squirrelly gave have good directions. The only things I can think to add is that I trim my images using scissors and if they (frosting sheets) won't peel off the backing I blow dry them for a minute or two until they stiffen slightly.

Heehee, I don't do edible images, but there were a couple of questions not answered and I didn't want to leave anyone out on a limb. So I thought, better to send them to a site with expert advice than to answer from my limited knowledge.
