In the first video, I show you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets. \u00a0In the second video, I show you how to layout a design using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icingimages.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Icing Image<\/a>&#8216;s iidesign program (which is an online software subscription you can buy). \u00a0And in the third video, I show you how to incorporate the previous two videos together to create a butterfly cake using edible frosting sheets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EpTAIvNgwGo\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of misconceptions\/questions that I often get regarding the idea of edible printing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, you eat the &#8220;paper&#8221;. \u00a0It is frosting.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>No, you cannot use a printer that has run regular ink through it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Yes, it&#8217;s, like, a, like, picture, that you, like, eat?<\/li>\n<li>So someone has to eat the person&#8217;s head?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>If you&#8217;ve got any more humdingers that I can add to the stellar list, let me know!\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>If you like the idea of getting yourself an edible printer, the most important thing I can explain to you is that you need to look into which edible ink cartridges will work in the new printer. \u00a0We have enjoyed working with Icing Images, so I would recommend that you go to their site, see which cartiridges they carry, and then buy your new printer accordingly. \u00a0We have gotten our printers at Staples in Canada, but you can find good deals anywhere these days. \u00a0Loading the edible ink cartridges is the exact same as it loading regular cartridges. \u00a0You will also follow the printer&#8217;s instructions about setting up colour etc, and it is a simple and easy process (especially if you&#8217;ve done it before).<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>You will also need to buy frosting sheets (edible paper). \u00a0They can come in a variety of sizes (letter and legal) and a variety of colours. \u00a0Again, check out Icing Images for those too.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Happy Baking!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Jenn\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div
