A frosting sheet is a printable, thin sheet of adaptable icing that clings effortlessly to buttercream, fondant, chocolate, isomalt, and royal icing. A plastic sheet holds the icing in place until you can work with it.
If you want to color the matte surface of the icing sheet, you can use petals and shine cleans, shine sprays, food coloring markers, or a printer with edible inks.
COLORING OF FROSTING SHEETS
You can add color to an edible icing sheet in a few different ways:
1. Thin with clear alcohol or concentrates for bolder, soaked hues or apply with clean, dry paintbrushes for an obscure, shady appearance.
2. Use implements a few inches away from the surface of the icing sheet. Holding in one place for a long time will cause the shade to pool or oversaturate the sheet.
3. Allow the shading to dry before handling the sheet.
P.S. Be sure to utilize a printer that hasn't been used to print with unpalatable ink. Use the specific edible color that has been designed exclusively for use with edible image printers. Allow the picture to dry before touching it.
CUTTING OF FROSTING SHEETS
Cut icing sheets as you would paper!
Using scissors, a paper guillotine, or paper punches is ideal.
Custom-printed pictures can be traced backward on the plastic backing and cut out with scissors or a special cutter.
Sheets of icing can be cut with or without a plastic covering.
Tear the icing sheet for more of a torn-paper effect.
HOW TO APPLY FROSTING SHEETS
Once your icing sheet is ready, remove the plastic support. If the cake is ganache-secured or buttercream-finished, icing sheets will stick just fine.
To decorate an icing-topped cake with edible icing first, brush the fondant or back of the icing image with a small amount of water.
Apply the edible icing images as stickers. To avoid icing sheet rises due to framing, longer pieces or wraps should be connected gradually, from one end at a time.
Make your edible icing picture even more stunning by brushing on a touch of edible sparkles and sprinkling it with shimmery edible glitter.
Benefits of Icing Sheets
Edible icing sheets are ideal for coloring. Icing sheets are made of sugar and blend into any edible product they are attached. Their versatility makes them an excellent ingredient for almost any cake or dessert.
Limitations of Icing Sheets
Once the icing sheets are opened, they should be stored in a sealed pack and used promptly. Once it starts to dry out, it is very hard to use. Wafer paper is more versatile. It should be attached to something sticky like fondant or buttercream; excessively delicate, making it impossible to hold a shape by itself.
Make your cakes, cookies, and pastries look perfect by using edible printers and products like refillable edible cartridges, edible luster dust, and edible marker pens from Icinginks.
