Amalfi Cake Outline

To place your edible photo on your cake there is a technique which will depend on the filling of your cake.

Your cake is made of sugar paste or almond paste: With a brush and water, VERY lightly moisten the part of the cake that will receive the edible impression . If you moisten the cake too much, the impression will flow or even disintegrate.

NB: NEVER MOISTURE THE PHOTO

IMPORTANT STEP : Place the support sheet with the sugar print in its plastic packaging for 4 to 5 minutes in the freezer and more if necessary to cause a thermal shock.

- Remove the plastic packaging and roll the backing sheet on the edge of a table or work surface to remove the edible part.

- Place the edible print on the cake.
