Rice paper cake toppers
How long will they stay looking good after placing on the cake, I'm using one on an iced rich fruit cake & trying to finish it a couple of weeks before the party
Best Answer
I saw no degradation in image quality (custom printed ones) in a few days. If the icing is hard then you moisten it just enough for the rice paper to stick before letting it dry again you should be fine as there's no source of moisture to make the ink suffer. But of course check the instructions - I think mine used alcohol-based inks.
But why not ice the cake in advance then add the topper the day before serving?

In order to dry them you can leave them for 24 hours at room temperature. If you want to speed up the drying process you can also place them in the oven. Now we don't want to bake them, just warm them up. I placed mine in an oven set to 65 degrees Celsius for around 1 \u2013 2 hours, until they were completely firm.Rice Paper Sails Cake Topper Tutorial | 4 ways to make rice paper cake decorations
