At Edible Image Supplies, we’re passionate about helping you transform your sweet creations into edible masterpieces. Whether you're a seasoned cake decorator or just starting out, understanding the unique qualities of our three primary edible media—Edible Icing Sheets, Wafer Paper, and Chocolate Transfer Sheets—can elevate your designs to the next level.

Edible Icing Sheets: Seamless and Vibrant

Our Edible Icing Sheets are thin layers of icing applied to a flexible plastic backing, allowing them to be fed through a printer. They have a slight vanilla taste and blend seamlessly into the surface of your creations, making them ideal for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and more. 

Why Choose Icing Sheets?

• Vibrant Prints: When used with our high-quality Edible Inks and Printers, they produce clear and vivid images.
• Versatility: Suitable for various icing finishes, including buttercream, fondant, royal icing, marzipan, ice cream, and chocolate.
• Ease of Use: Available in A3, A4, and pre-cut sizes, they peel easily from the backing sheet and are simple to apply.

Edible Wafer Paper: Lightweight and Artistic

Edible Wafer Paper is a versatile medium made from natural ingredients like potato starch, water, and olive oil. It's gluten-free, suitable for vegans, and has a smooth white surface perfect for printing. 

Why Choose Wafer Paper?

• Creative Flexibility: Can be drawn on, printed, painted, cut, folded, and shaped into various decorations.
• Ideal for Decorations: Perfect for creating flowers, feathers, and other intricate designs that add dimension to your treats—especially when used with products like More Moist and More Curl. 
• Light and Crisp: Adds a delicate touch without altering the taste or texture of your edible creations. 

Chocolate Transfer Sheets: Elegant and Professional

Our Chocolate Transfer Sheets are thin, food-safe plastic sheets coated with a cacao-butter product. Designed specifically for use with Edible Ink Printers, they allow you to transfer intricate designs onto chocolate surfaces. 

Why Choose Chocolate Transfer Sheets?

• Professional Finish: Gives chocolates and confections a polished, high-end appearance.
• Custom Designs: Personalise your chocolates with logos, patterns, or messages.
• Versatility: Use them to decorate cakes and other desserts, or to create custom chocolate pieces.
