You do not need any decorating experience, nor do you need to be “crafty”. Designer edible image Cake Stickers will do the decorating for you. Simply place the edible image on your frosted cake and you have a masterpiece in a matter of minutes.

Edible images do not have a strange taste or texture, It is actually frosting pressed ultra thin onto a backing sheet and imaged with edible inks. When applied to frosting, icings and whipped cream cakes the edible images merges as one with the cakes frosting. Do not touch the image once it has been on the cake for about 15 minutes as it will leave a finger print just as the frosting does when touched. When applied to fondant, gum paste, chocolate, or fudge the Cake Sticker acts like a sticker and is totally touchable.

One of the most popular designer edible image prints is the Zebra print. It’s a fun and festive print that is perfect for girls of all ages. So let’s get right to learning how to make this easy designer zebra cake with Cake Stickers.

1. You can purchase a Designer Edible Image Zebra Print on line for just $10.95. Bakeries can charge hundreds of dollars to create specialty cakes such as this. The zebra printed edible images are the same edible images that bakeries use.

2. Make a homemade 8" to 9" cake or buy a pre-made cake from your local grocery store. Edible images work best on freshly frosted cakes, so if you prefer to use a pre-made cake you will need to spray a fine mist of water on the frosting before applying the edible image.

3. The zebra print edible image we will be using is 2.25” wide x 10” long. The strips are designed to adorn the sides of your cake. You will need to make sure the height of your cake is at least 2.5” (designed to fit the average height of a two layer cake). Sheets can be easily cut to accommodate your cake so if your cake height is less than 2.5” you can simply cut the edible image to fit. To learn more about working with edible images see more complete instruction on using cake stickers. You may want to measure the distance around your cake to make sure the strips will fit accordingly. It usually takes three (3) strips to decorate around an 8” to 9" cake depending o your frosting thickness. If the strips are too long you can simply cut off any excess with a razor blade or sharp scissors.

4. Simply remove the first zebra print from the backing sheet. The sheets match up from end to end. Lay the edible imaged strip on the side of your cake by holding ends and gently applying from the middle first, to the ends. Gently smooth out the edible image making sure the edges are touching frosting. Apply the second and third zebra strips in the same manor while lining up the edge with the previous strip. If the last strip is too long simply cut the strip with sharp scissors or a razor knife while it is on the cake for a perfect fit.

7. You can pipe a frosting border around the top and bottom of the cake for that bakery look. If you are not comfortable using a piping bag, no worries, your cake looks beautiful without borders. Adding festive colored sprinkles and some curly ribbon can really jazz up your cake.

That’s it! That was so simple! It’s amazing how beautiful your cake looks and how easy it was to create. Have fun showing off your masterpiece!
