Very faint colours ,did not look so nice at all on the cupcake .Wasted my time in cutting them with a scissors as the pictures are not precut so some of them were torn. They should be edible but their taste like you eat a real papers so I was not confident enough that I can put them in cupcakes for kids .it ends up throwing them in the rubbish. Highly disappointed and wasted my money and time .Do not buy.
