There was a period when only experts bakeries could afford the technology to produce Edible Image. Now even cake decorating hobbyists can print edible images at home using their computer and their printer while the only cost being the edible ink and edible paper. Here you'll learn how to create your individual edible images including how to set up, use and maintain your own edible imaging technique.

Edible images aren't only for photo cakes. You will find new and creative uses for edible images with every cake you make. Allow me to share some creative ways edible images should be considered:

Print an outline or coloring book page onto frosting sheets and apply it to a iced cake. Fill in the design with buttercream. The frosting sheet will dissolve and only you will know you used an outline. Frosting sheets make cut-out cakes quick and trouble-free. Print your edible image to the shape and size you want your cake. Cut out the edible image and then remove it from the plastic backing. Carefully place the edible image in a zipper-loc bag until able to use. Using the plastic backing like a template, attach it to a sheet cake with toothpicks. Cut around the pattern using razor-sharp, notched knife. Frost your cake or cover it with Rolled Fondant. Put on the edible image at the top.
Do you like making 3D cakes? You can create buildings and houses, baby blocks and present cakes or even a dart board without ever having to pick up a piping bag just by covering the tops and sides of a cake with edible images. Employ frosting sheets to make activity cakes. Activity cakes are cakes which are topped with an edible image of an activity worksheet such as a maze, dot-to-dot or color by number. Children enjoy finishing these fun cakes with tubes of colored frosting. Experiment using your edible images. Try using them with gelatin, pies, cheesecakes, cookies, gingerbread houses or hard candy.
You are only limited by your imagination. If it is possible to print it, it will become an edible image. Recommendations:

1.Refill your edible ink cartridges.

2.Continually print test and practice pages on regular paper.
3.Buy your printer first after which your supplies instead of purchasing them together as a kit or package.

4.Use a search engine to locate in-stock printers at the very best prices.
5.Shop online auction sites like eBay for your new printer.

6.Discover free printable, frames, fonts and image editing software over the web.

7. Airbrush cleaning fluid is not only good for removing clogs from your print head, it's also a great cleanser in the event you get edible inks on your hands or counter tops.

8. Going through trouble aligning your shaped frosting sheets? Use 7.5x10 ones instead and cut the shapes out. The leftover pieces can be used to color, stamp, paint or airbrush on using edible inks.

9.. Refill bottles leaking? Wrap the threads of the bottle with plumbers tape.
10. Ruined a printed frosting sheet? Don't throw it out. If possible, put it aside for a mosaic or to chop colored pieces from it for future use.
