Step by step homemade baking recipes
Having read parts 1 and 2 on edible printing, you’re now ready to put a cake together!
In the first video, I showed you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets. In the second video, I showed you how to layout a design using Icing Image’s iidesign program (which is an online software subscription you can buy). And in the third video, I show you how to incorporate the previous two videos together to create a butterfly cake using edible frosting sheets.
Learning how to layout and create designs for edible printing is probably the most difficult process in edible printing. If you are a wiz at Photoshop or a similar design program, you get 3 gold stars and can skip this tutorial!! But you might want to check out the video anyway as I show you a cool online software program with lots of built in designs etc already there!
This is the second video in a three part series, so if you’ve ended up here without seeing Part 1, make sure you head there and check it out. In the first video, I showed you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets goes. In this second video, I will show you how to layout a design using Icing Image‘s iidesign program (which is an online software subscription you can buy). And in the third video, I show you how to incorporate the previous two videos together to create a butterfly cake using edible frosting sheets.
I’ve got one last Christmasy idea for you before the big day next week! If you’re one of our 11,000 subscribers on YouTube, you’ve already seen this (and thank you for subscribing!), but in the hustle and bustle of this fall, I am finally getting this up on the blog.
In this video, we are using Photofrost frosting sheets, and our Cricut Cake to make multiple layered poinsettia leaves. There are lots of steps to this cake, and it comes out stunning, and perfect for the holidays!
Photofrost contacted us about making a cake using their coloured frosting sheets, and knowing that we had Christmas videos to film, we brainstormed a cake that would work for both sides: a cake that would show off Photofrost’s product, and one that we could do showcasing our Cricut cake.
You can bake any cake for this one, what I did was bake three layers (two vanilla, one red velvet) of eight inch cake, to give the cake height in order to ensure that the poinsettia’s that border the bottom of the cake were not cramped along the bottom or too high to the top.
To make this cake, you will need: frosting sheets (red and green), 3×8″ cake layers, Cricut Cake (or flower tracer/scissors).
Have look-see of the video, and let me know if you have any questions!
Happy Holidays!
