Choose the height and quantity that best fits your cake tier. 1 10″ × 2.5″ Thin accent band 1 10″ × 3″ Standard single tier 1 10″ × 4″ Tall single tier 3 10″ × 2.5″ Large round or square 2 10″ × 3″ Medium-large cakes 2 10″ × 4″ Tall or large cakes **💡 Pro Tip:** Each strip is 10 inches long. For most cakes, you'll need multiple strips to wrap the full circumference. Use the calculator below to figure out how many strips you need! 🧮 How Many Strips Will You Need? Every cake shape has a different circumference. Use these simple formulas to estimate the total strip length you need — then add a little extra to account for the icing thickness. #### 🔵 Round Cake Diameter × 3.14 = Circumference **Example:** An 8″ round cake → 8 × 3.14 = **~25 inches** of wrap needed. That's about 3 strips of 10″ each. #### ⬛ Square or Rectangle Cake Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3 + Side 4 = Total **Example:** A 9″×13″ sheet cake → 9+13+9+13 = **44 inches** needed. That's about 5 strips of 10″ each. **⚠️ Always add a little extra!** Frosting and buttercream add thickness to your cake, making it slightly larger than the pan size. We recommend ordering **1 extra strip** as a safety margin — better to have a little more than to come up short on decorating day. ✨ Application Tips for Best Results - Apply strips to a **chilled cake with a smooth, fresh layer of buttercream or fondant** — the strip adheres best to a slightly tacky surface. - Work quickly and smoothly. Press the strip gently from one end to the other to avoid air bubbles. - If your cake has a hard ganache or fully crusted buttercream, lightly brush the surface with a tiny amount of water or piping gel to help the strip stick. - For multi-strip cakes, slightly overlap the edges (about ¼ inch) where strips meet so there are no visible gaps. - **Do not apply strips to wet or sweating cakes** — the colors may bleed. Allow condensation to dry before applying. - Once applied, use the back of a spoon or a clean offset spatula to gently smooth out any air pockets. - Strips can be applied up to **24–48 hours before the event** and stored loosely covered in the refrigerator. - For fondant-covered cakes, lightly brush the fondant with water or edible glue where the strip will sit. 🖼️ Image Requirements & File Guidelines - **File format:** JPEG (.jpg) or PNG (.png) preferred. No screenshots, no links, no Google Drive files without download access. - **Resolution:** At least 300 DPI (dots per inch) at print size for sharp, vibrant results. Minimum 1000px on the shortest side. - **Send your image exactly as you want it printed** — we do not add text, stickers, filters, or edits to your photos before printing. - If you have multiple panels or want a different image on each strip, send each image labeled clearly (e.g., "Strip 1 – family photo," "Strip 2 – floral background"). - Dark or heavily filtered images may appear differently when printed on frosting sheets. Bright, well-lit photos give the best results. - We do not provide proofs before printing unless specifically requested, so please double-check your image before sending. **📧 How to send:** Reply to the order confirmation email you receive after purchase.

Please send your photo exactly as you'd like it printed. If you'd like text on the strip, we recommend using a free design tool like Canva to add it to your image before sending it to us. How do I send my image after ordering? ▾ After placing your order, you'll receive an order confirmation email from us. Simply reply to that email and attach your image file directly. Include any special instructions in the email body (e.g., orientation, which side should be the "top," whether you want the image repeated or stretched across all strips). What if my image is low quality? ▾ Low-resolution images (screenshots, photos of photos, small files pulled from social media) will result in a blurry or pixelated print. We always print what's sent to us and cannot improve image quality. For best results, please use original, high-resolution JPEG or PNG files with at least 300 DPI or a minimum of 1000 pixels on the shortest edge. How long does production and shipping take? ▾ Most orders are printed within 1–2 business days of receiving your image. Shipping time depends on your selected method at checkout. For events with a deadline, we always recommend ordering at least 5–7 days in advance to allow comfortable time for production and delivery. How many strips do I need for an 8-inch round cake? ▾ An 8″ round cake has a circumference of approximately 25 inches (8 × 3.14 = 25.12"). At 10″ per strip, you'll need about 3 strips to wrap the entire cake. We recommend adding one extra strip to account for slight overlap and the extra thickness added by frosting. Will the strip stick to my buttercream cake? ▾ Yes! Frosting sheets adhere very well to fresh, slightly soft buttercream. For best adhesion, apply the strip immediately after applying your final coat of buttercream — before it crusts over. If your buttercream is fully crusted or your cake is fondant-covered, brush a very thin layer of piping gel or water on the surface before applying the strip. Can I refrigerate a cake with edible cake wrap strips applied? ▾ Yes. Once the strip is applied to the cake and has adhered for at least 15–20 minutes, the cake can be stored covered in the refrigerator. The strip will continue to soften and blend into the frosting beautifully, and the colors remain vibrant when refrigerated. Are these strips edible and safe? ▾ Absolutely. Both the frosting sheet base and the edible inks we use are 100% food-safe and FDA-compliant. They are completely edible — your guests can eat the entire strip along with the cake. There is no plastic, paper, or non-edible material in the product. Can I use the same image on all strips in a multi-strip order? ▾ Yes! By default, if you send one image, we'll print that same image on all strips in your order. If you want different images on each strip, just let us know in your email and label each image clearly so we know which file goes on which strip. What size height should I choose for my cake? ▾ The height of the strip should match the visible side of your cake. A 2-layer 6″ cake is typically about 4″ tall, so the 4″ height strips are ideal. If your cake is shorter or you'd like a decorative band rather than full side coverage, the 2.5″ or 3″ heights work beautifully. When in doubt, go with the taller option for full coverage. ## Details - **Price:** 14.99 USD - 18.99 USD - **Vendor:** Custom Edible Sheets - **Tags:** field_file ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Black / 1 Strip - 10"x2.5" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Black / 1 Strip - 10"x3" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Black / 1 Strip - 10"x4" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Black / 3 Strip - 10"x2.5" | 18.99 USD | In stock | | Black / 2 Strip - 10"x3" | 18.99 USD | In stock | | Black / 2 Strip - 10"x4" | 18.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 1 Strip - 10"x2.5" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 1 Strip - 10"x3" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 1 Strip - 10"x4" | 14.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 3 Strip - 10"x2.5" | 18.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 2 Strip - 10"x3" | 18.99 USD | In stock | | Color / 2 Strip - 10"x4" | 18.99 USD | In stock | ## Images - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration - Custom Printed Edible Cake Wrap Strips | Photo Cake Wrap | Edible Cake Side Strips | Custom Icing Sheet Decoration --- > Source: [Custom Edible Sheets](https://customediblesheets.com/products/custom-printed-edible-cake-wrap-strips) > Updated: 2026-07-30
