Store them in the original packaging or a sealed container to prevent moisture and humidity from damaging the image. Use them within a few weeks for optimal results, as their freshness can degrade over time.  Avoid Refrigeration: Do not store edible images in the refrigerator, as the moisture can cause them to become sticky or damaged.  Freshness: For best results, use edible images within a few weeks of printing or purchasing.  Proper Handling: When applying edible images to cakes, use a light touch to avoid damaging the image. Apply them to a smooth, dry surface for best results.  Protect from Moisture: Avoid exposing edible images to moisture, including condensation from the refrigerator or excess moisture from frosting.  #edibleimage #edibleimagetutorial #cakedecorating #tutorial #caketutorial #fondant #caketips #cakedesign #customcakes #cake #cakeinspiration Copyright Disclaimer This video features a custom cake design inspired by characters from popular media.
