How far in advance can you make your cut outs before you want to apply them to your cakes and after they dry, do you put them back in the foil bags until ready to use?

When resizing a picture. If you want an exact size. Click on the picture you want to size. At the top look for picture tools and click format. Look for the size area (where 2 sets of numbers are) enter you desired height and width.) The way I explained it sounds hard but it was a life saver when doing images for word

Another great video. I too have experienced the same issue with my printer and was a bummed, but the printers are getting cheaper and cheaper. I 'm an avid crafter starting many moons ago with scrapbooking. I follow your technics with images saving them from online. Mine but where mine differs a bit is I use either my Cricut or Cameo when cutting out the image (I'm a terrible cutter). Within the last few years Criuct added an offset feature (white border) so no more worrying about finding a bordered picture. The coolest Cricut feature (by far) is cutting fondant/gumpaste YUP, IT WORKS amazingly well. I have a Cricut dedicated to food cutting. I also use my 3d printer to make cake toppers and cake boards :) Another great video.

I don’t think it is necessary to put it on a piece of fondant when you are doing it on top of a sheet cake. It is less likely to wrinkle on a sheet cake!

How far ahead can I print an edible image and store it? If the image doesn't need to be flat is it necessary to dry flat if that makes sense. You know how some are flat like for toppers and they have to dry hard and flat but what if they wrap to the cake?

You want to use a brand new printer that never had regular (toxic) ink running through it. Meaning, you can't "convert" your old, used printer to an edible one by putting the edible ink cartridges in. There's still toxic ink in the printer and someone could get really sick if they ingested that. I get all of my edible printing supplies from Icing Images. They sell Canon printers, which are great to use for edible printing because the print head can be easily removed for cleaning / maintenance.
