Use scissors to cut out the required shape from the leaf whilst avoiding excessive finger contact. Brush the chosen icing surface thinly with edible glue or confectioner’s glaze covering an area slightly large than that required for the leaf transfer. Position the transfer accurately and gently press. Remember it cannot be repositioned after contact. Leave for a minute and then peel off the backing paper with tweezers using a slow upward movement. Allow 24 hours to dry hard.
