Food Safety and Allergen Information
You can trust Kopykake Frosting Sheets™ and other edible papers to meet the highest food safety standards. All our edible papers—including our frosting sheets, wafer papers, and chocolate transfer sheets—are produced in the USA using ingredients that are free from common allergens such as gluten and nuts.
Every sheet is crafted under rigorous manufacturing practices and is fully compliant with FDA food safety regulations. This means you can confidently use them on your cakes, cookies, and confections, knowing they are both safe and inclusively allergen-free for your customers to enjoy.
Storing and Shelf Life of Edible Papers
Edible papers, whether you’re crafting show-stopping cake toppers or jazzing up a batch of homemade cookies, are surprisingly easy to store. Simply keep them sealed in a zip-lock bag or airtight container at room temperature, away from moisture or extreme heat. Refrigeration isn’t necessary (so save that fridge space for something tastier).
Most edible papers work their magic best within the first year, but when properly stored, you can expect them to remain fresh for up to two years from the date of manufacture. Just remember: dry, cool places are your friends—think of your pantry, not the back seat of your car in July.
Types of Edible Paper for Cake Decorating
When it comes to bringing your edible creations to life, you’ll find a delightful assortment of edible papers at your disposal. Here are the main varieties you’ll encounter in cake and confection decorating:
- Frosting sheets (also known as icing sheets or sugar sheets): Thin, flexible layers that behave like a second skin for your frosting. These absorb color beautifully and are perfect for capturing detailed images, vibrant logos, or your customers’ cherished photos.
- Wafer paper (sometimes called rice paper): Lightweight and crisp, this type of edible paper is ideal for crafting flowers, decorative accents, or even edible toppers that need to stand tall and keep their shape.
- Chocolate transfer sheets: For the chocolatiers among us, these special sheets feature ready-made designs that transfer directly onto chocolate, letting you easily add show-stopping patterns and decorations.
To ensure your edible sheets and chocolate transfers arrive in perfect condition, especially during colder months, we recommend selecting a “Keep It Warm” packaging option at checkout. This extra layer of protection guards against cracking, frosting, or condensation that can occur when temperatures dip. Whether it’s winter in Winnipeg or an unexpected cold snap in Chicago, this simple addition helps preserve freshness and quality from our door to yours.
Each type unlocks its own set of creative possibilities, allowing you to tailor your treats for any occasion or celebration.
