Edible Printing: Layout and Design for Cakes (Part 2)

May 15, 2013 by Jenn

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.

Edible Printing 101 (Part 1)

May 6, 2013 by Jenn

Adding an Edible Printer to our bakery has been one of our greatest investments.  It is truly amazing what you can add to your cakes and cupcakes by printing out an edible image. 

We did a video a couple of years ago (a year…I don’t remember!) on edible printing basics, and since we have recieved steady questions and comments on that video, we thought it would be a great video to make with a more in-depth focus.

We have turned the new video idea into a series, and I will have two subsequent posts up on the idea. In the first video, I show you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets.  In the second video, I 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.

Fortunate Friday-Top 5 Cake Decorating Tools

December 16, 2011 by Jenn

I haven’t done a Fortunate Friday post in quite some time and since I’m fully immersed up to my elbows in the cake world lately, I thought I would make my Fortunate Friday about all of the CAKE DECORATING TOOLS that I find helpful. . . and of course, we can’t forget the cupcakes!

Before I jump into the Cake Decorating Tools that make caking easier, I HAVE to thank Paul for the early Christmas present!  You might have noticed the blog got a makeover!  Isn’t it pretty!?  I love it . . . thanks P!  I’m so fortunate to have him <3

5 Cake Decorating Tools

1. Edible Ink Printer–  This has been a tool that has come in extremely helpful.  It allows the cake decorator to print pretty much ANY image onto edible paper, and place it on top of a cake or even cupcakes!

We currently use a Cannon MP640 to do our edible prints.  What’s important to remember is to make sure that you do not ever put non-edible ink into the machine.  The first ink that runs through the machine, must be edible ink. 

Edible Inks are a specially formulated food coloring mixture for printing onto icing sheets. The colors are matched with regular inks, then modified to hold their coloring better on the icing sheets.

We get our edible ink and edible paper from Icing Images. 

We have a step by step guide for you to watch on YouTube as well.  Check it out here.
