Also, coating the top with clear piping gel will make a glossy type picture rather than a matte type. You can take your photo icing sheet to your baker or cake decorator and they will know what to do. If Frosting Sheets are too moist and difficult to remove: Place in the freezer for not more than (1) one minute. Remove from freezer and apply to cakes, cookies, cupcakes, etc. Always keep hands or utensils dry. Water will smear your edible image.
