Perfect topper for a quick decoration.It was shipped in cardboard sheets so it remained flat and could not get damaged.You just trim around the image and remove plastic backing and place on your cake.I placed it on store bought pillsbury frosting and trimmed the cake with store bought icing from Walmart. I stored the cake as pictured in the fridge overnight and everything held up perfect. Picture didn’t distort or dissolve at all.Also- no one even tasted it or complained Ed about flavor. It literally had no taste or texture so it didn’t affect the cake badly at all, as many have noted.Would definitely recommend!
