Cake decorating made easy with edible inks

If you become a fan of cake competition shows, you know how complex and very time consuming to create designer custom cake. Some come from watching these shows with the impression only takes a hour long show to produce these cakes, but in fact, many cakes take more than 30 hours to create. When it comes to implementing the design touches, there are a few exceptions to the rule. One way to give the impression you spent countless hours decorating the cake is to use a designer print or photo that was printed in edible ink on frosting sheet.

Say, MOM wanted to make her daughter's wedding cake, but he knew only some basic cake decorating techniques. It can step it up a notch with the help of daughter wedding stationery design inspiration and scan design in the printer. The printer will then spit out the icing with edible leaf design. This design can then be directly applied to the sides of the cake, cut into shapes with scissors, or punch or attached to the fondant or paste decorations that will just bring a hint of design in the cake.

You're certainly not limited to scanning. Each photo is already on your computer or downloaded and any printing, downloading can be sent to the printer. Personal photos can be used to Top a cake or inclusion in picture frames to decorate the cake.

As design skills one step further, you can take any design to print on a sheet of frosting and run it through electronic cutting machine. The machine can be used for more difficult designs with small, precise cuts or neatly cut out letters in certain fonts. Electronic cutting machine comes with some preprogrammed models and other cartridges are available, to make the scrolls, repetitive patterns that will take forever to cut out by hand, numbers etc.

Even if you want to create your own hand-painted design but need to create multiples of him to put on the cake, it scans and print as many as you need is so much more quickly and conveniently than an individual creating them on the cake. You can hand paint the design on paper, scan and icing sheets will reveal your brush strokes, which seems like hand painted designs on cake.

Edible inks will not only make the cake decorator's life easier; they open up so many advanced capabilities decorator might never have tried with other media.
