How do I Get an Edible Image of a Chow Puppy for a Cake?
- 1). Purchase edible inks and edible frosting sheets from a cake decorating store or online retailer like Kopykake or Icing Images. Follow the included instructions for loading the ink and paper into your printer.
- 2). Select the photo or image of your chow puppy that you want to use to decorate your cake. If making a birthday cake, you might want to use a photo of the chow puppy with the birthday child.
- 3). Use your own photo editing program or a program made especially for working with edible images, such Kopykake's free desktop decorator, to crop or resize your picture or add a decorative border. If using your own software, make sure the final image is a mirror of the original. If using software like that offered by Kopykake, this will likely be done for you.
- 4). Print the image on the specialty paper. Handle the printed image with care to avoid smudging the ink.
- 5). Gently apply the image to your pre-frosted cake. Because the sheets are so thin, it will absorb right in, so it will look more like the image was painted on than actually applied like a sticker. The mirror image will appear facing the right way when applied to the cake.
