That is a classic baking plot twist, but you handled it perfectly by getting the shot first! Standard edible image toppers can be incredibly sensitive to moisture, so capturing that photo beforehand was a brilliant saving grace. It sounds like you already have a great track record with them, and this was just a minor bump in the road.
Here is how you can completely prevent that crinkling on your next bake:
Moisture Control Tips Dry icing: Apply the topper to fresh, slightly tacky icing, but never wet icing.
Mist lightly: If using water to adhere it, use a fine mist spray bottle from a distance.
Crust timing: Let buttercream crust slightly before applying the image.
Fondant barrier: Place the image on a thin piece of rolled fondant first if putting it on a very wet frosting like whipped cream.
Storage Adjustments Avoid condensation: Do not refrigerate the cake after applying the topper, as sweat causes bleeding.
excellent. I did not have to follow up as I was kept informed. Very well packaged
