48 European Flags Mini Cupcake Toppers (2.5cm) on Wafer / Rice Paper

 

At the Cake Decorators Boutique, we print onto edible wafer sheets and iced sheets. Our clients always ask what the difference is and we tell them the following:

 

 Wafer Paper (also known as rice paper)

The main thing you need to know about rice paper is that the picture quality will not be as good as an iced sheet. Wafer paper is thin, quit porous looking and slightly translucent. This makes it less suitable for high detailed images and photographs.
They are great for children’s parties and putting on cupcakes or for individual shapes such as flowers and butterflies.

Wafer paper is quicker to apply as it doesn’t have a backing sheet. You just cut out your image/s (if needed) using sharp scissors or a craft knife and put onto your cake.


Icing Sheets (also known as frosting sheets)

Icing sheets are thin layers of icing that have been compressed onto a flexible plastic backing sheet. Clients prefer them to rice paper as the colours are more vibrant and the picture quality is sharper. Icing sheets also blend into the iced surface of the cake, giving a more professional appearance.

Iced sheets are suitable for placing on butter cream, chocolate, royal/glazed icing, fondant, marzipan and whipped cream.  Icing sheets can be cut to desired shapes and sizes using a craft knife.

This item is also available in our shop as an iced item.

 Please be aware that images printed onto wafer/rice paper are not as vivid as those printed on a quality iced sheet. If you require a strong, vibrant image then we can supply the same design on an iced sheet. It is also important to be aware that colours viewed on screen can differ slightly from the finished product. This is because edible inks use a different printing process.

All toppers will be sent via Royal Mail and enclosed in a sealed bag.

International Shipping is available on most items but the import tax must be paid by the customer.

If kept in the provided sealed bag the topper can be kept for up to 6 months.

 

If there is ANY problem I would appreciate you contacting me before leaving feedback. Many thanks.
