Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to prepare your press set for use:

1. Identify the desired letters, numbers, or symbols for your message.
2. Arrange the tiles in reverse order within the holder. This is crucial as the impression will be a mirror image of the final design.
3. Slide the arranged tile pieces into the holder.
4. Slide the flip locks on either side of the holder to securely fasten the tiles in place.

Operating Instructions

This set is designed for imprinting messages on cakes, which then serve as a guide for piping frosting.

General Use

1. With very light pressure, gently press the assembled design onto the side or top of your cake. This will leave a slight impression of your message.
2. Once the impression is made, remove the press set.
3. Using a decorating bag and your desired tip, carefully pipe over the imprinted design to create your personalized message.

Using with Buttercream Frosting

For best results when working with buttercream, allow the icing to crust for approximately 15 to 20 minutes before imprinting. This will provide a firmer surface, making the imprinting process easier and cleaner.
