I almost did not order these because of the negative comments already posted. Then I remember them from my childhood. All of our cakes were always decorated with these candied decorations. They are very easy to remove with the instructions for many years ago. Get a paper towel very wet and let the water soak into the paper that the candies are attached to. Test every 10 minutes or so to easily remove the candies from the paper. It melts that first layer of sugar attached to the paper. Then set them on a dry paper towel for about 10 minutes. All of the kids loved the candies!! Minnie Mouse was so cute!!
