Print F.A.Q.
The prints are always bright, vibrant and are as clear as your file resolution allows. Being an experienced cake artist for more than 10 years and having a background in graphic and web design and digital print production, I am honored to offer you the most convenient, reliable, high quality and professional edible image printing services: the size is exact, the colors are vibrant, the red is red. I do know what I am doing! I always review your files and may suggest image quality improvements if I feel that it can boost the final result because I also take time to maintain and calibrate my printer, as well as keep the most fresh stock of edible paper to produce high quality edible prints for your wonderful creations every time. However, please note that due to edible nature of the ink, some colors may not print with exact same shades as they appear on the source image file or even your screen. This is a known issue with all edible print systems and considered being normal. COLOR PROOFS: I certainly understand that some clients may be particular about color when it comes to their logos. I do suggest that you order 1 color proof print page before placing an order for a larger batch. Most of the images found online are licensed or copyright protected. If I offer you those images, it would be equal of me selling them along with my services. I provide printing and layout/minor alterations services only and can not legally offer, provide or sell any copyright protected or licensed image as a product. By uploading your image, you as a customer take full responsibility for obtaining all copyright and the authorization to use the image. However, I can help you to find good quality images for uploads: Jump straight to IMAGE SIZE CALCULATOR When googling for images, find the largest ones you can. On your computer browser Google Image Search displays the size of each image in pixels.

FINISHED CAKE STORAGE Edible Print Montreal (Key Art Studio Cakes) cannot be responsible for the print care, storage and transportation once the print was given to the customer. If the customer follows the instructions provided no problems should occur. If you have never worked with an Icing sheet before, you may want to start from There are also many useful video tutorials online you can easily find and learn from. I strongly recommend choosing Icing Sheets for the prints that are applied on top of cakes (fondant, buttercream, whipped cream), cupcakes, cookies, chocolate, candy ets. Unless you need to use it for some specific cake decorating applications and you know what you are doing. Please, see examples below. The major difference between the two types of edible paper is the print quality. You may look at it as a difference between a newspaper print (Wafer Paper) and a magazine print minus the gloss (Icing Sheet). The Wafer is semi-translucent, brittle and porous. The Icing Sheet is dense, pliable and opaque. ICING SHEET / FROSTING SHEET is an actual layer of vanilla icing that merges or adheres with the icing on the baked good. They are made of 2 layers: a flexible sugar icing layer and a non-stick easy to peel backing paper. They can be applied to all types of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, chocolate, Sugarveil®, fondant, blown sugar, etc. The paper is opaque, dense and white enough to print photographs with clean and crisp image quality* (*please, note that quality of any print greatly depends on source file resolution.) When an edible image is placed over a dark background, it is less likely for the background color to show through the image if it is printed on a dense Icing Sheet. Wafer paper is more translucent and any colored background will affect the image easily. (click on the image to enlarge) WAFER / RICE PAPER is a thin translucent sheet of potato starch, water, and vegetable oil. The wafer paper is somewhat brittle. Heavy ink saturation will result in wafer paper warping and edge curling, therefore it is best to use it for very light graphic images only (mostly text, line, and contour, not flooded with color too much). Here are a couple cakes I have created with prints on wafer paper to create 3D butterflies and leaves (just as a wafer paper application example): Many of my clients do place their edible images on store-bought cakes following my When placing your order, please, do not forget to let me know exactly what shape (round or rectangular) and how large you want your image to be printed because there is no such thing as a standard cake size. I am also not able to suggest which size print you need based on the number of cake servings. You can always measure the cake top area yourself or ask the bakery to do this for you.Edible Print - Shop

How to find an image for your Edible Print online and make sure it can be printed with descent quality.
(you may also google for visual instructions)
You may now calculate how many pixels your image should be for a particular print size, or if the size of an image you found will be enough to print it in the size you want.
EDIBLE PRINT STORAGE
Keep your frosting sheet in its original heat-sealed zip bag until you are ready to use it. Once cut open, use immediately. Store remaining parts of the unused decal in closed zip bag to prevent drying.
Store your edible image print in a cool, dry location away from direct light to avoid fading.
Do not store in the freezer or refrigerator.
During winter: The prints may crack or shatter when frozen. When picking-up, protect from exposing to freezing weather. |
Once your image is applied to a cake, you may then store it in a dry (home) fridge.
Commercial humid walk-in fridges may cause colors to run, so you may want to place your cake inside a cardboard box to keep extra humidity away and absorb any potential condensation.

Otherwise, please, excuse the print quality.
Absolutely!
You may downoad my Full Page PDF template if you are creating the print file yourself.
If you send me your own ready to print PDF file of the right print size, I really don’t care how many images you fit onto it (example: cupcake toppers – you may fit several circles onto 1 page and send me your ready to print file).
I accept PDF, JPG or PNG files only and will NOT print from Word, PowerPoint or any other file format.
If you are familiar with creating a PDF file with images, you should be good, because this is the best file format for printing. It respects exact size and position of all design elements.
You can use any image editing software you are familiar with, downoad my Full Page PDF template with safety margins, open it in your software and place anything you want within page limits. Then save your file as PDF with 300 dpi resolution and upload.
If you are using Adobe Illustrator, please do not forget to do the following before you save your file:
- Select all your placed images one by one and click Embed to ensure that they will be attached to your saved file.
- If you are adding any text to your image, select all of it, choose Type→Create Outlines.
Illustrator gives you the opportunity to change text into outlines or artwork. Basically, you change the text into an object, so you can no longer edit that text by typing. The plus side is that it saves you the trouble of sending fonts to everyone who wants to use the file.
