We got a big cookie with an edible image on it for the Super Bowl, and I was curious how they made it. We weren't sure at first if it was indeed edible, but found out it was. This is very cool. Thanks for posting this!

[@sladiewolf]

This is really cool. I was always curious what the process for these graphic images on cakes was. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@sydpoindexter6642]

I learn something new everyday! Never knew how easy this was til now

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

If you watch our newest Edible Image videos, you will have all your questions answered for you.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I LOVE YOU FOR NOTICING!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for this tiny piece of validation. You've made my day/week/month/year!

[@r.phillips2388]

I'm so excited because I am a Photographer and Cake baker! And now I can combined them together!!! Thanks so much!

[@mamakoko5398]

R. Phillips so ist save ? And we should remove the sheet ??

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You can just print multiple cupcake toppers to the size you want and cut them out or you can order icing sheets where they are already cut-out for you. You use any image layout program you want like Photoshop.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

No problem, I wish I could be of better help. We'll have to get some to review. We have just finished filming a set of 3 videos on using an edible printer, so hopefully that will help you out! They should be out in the next week or so. Thanks for watching!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Currently I'm using photoshop to lay everything out...I just filmed a 3 part series on edible image basics and it will be up shortly.

[@dora519]

CupcakesandCardio, you are an angel for answering the same questions over and over and over. I wish people took the time to read the comments before asking questions. They would find their answers right away. No offense to anyone but People! please read the comments!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@lstanton212 There’s no dedicated software needed for printing these. You use the same software that you would if you were printing on normal paper. We use Adobe Photoshop for most of our layouts, but you can use whatever image editing or design program works best for you.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Icing sheets are thicker and come with a plastic backing which helps feeds them through the printer. Icing sheets also produce better quality prints. There is wafer paper that is made for edible printers, you can try it out and see if it works for you.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@12enma12 you can follow the links in the video for all of that information :) the brand of paper we use is Icing Images

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Canon PIXMA MG5220 and we get the sheets/ink from Icing Images

[@deborahbaker9903]

You are an excellent presenter and the tutorial is great !!!

[@teitei9536]

Yes she is 😃

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I've seen that they have come out with coloured and patterned sheets, but I don't know if they have white.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Hi, it clogs a lot due to the food based inks (no chemicals like the real ink to keep it running smoothly). We use Icing Images ink :) Hope that helps.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We leave them in the printer, just as you would regular cartridges. They do have expiry dates though, so make sure you know how long they last.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Once it is on the buttercream, you can't remove the image...it's there to stay. So I have no idea if it "stains" it as it completely attaches to it.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes you can eat it. That's what the word "edible" means.

[@AlphaBravo860]

If you reply to peoples comments you must hit "Reply" or it doesn't notify them of the reply. If you just comment normally like you do it just looks like your talking to yourself and gets confusing and no one knows who your replying to. You don't need to type @userName. When you hit "Reply" KZbin automatically does that for you and notify's the receiver & puts the reply comment in the correct original commenters space.

[@IwillDoit8]

You could have eaten it

[@trexnext]

@@AlphaBravo860 this was 6 years ago I don't think the reply things was there

[@dianaval6082]

Yeah either ways it helps explain to people who didn’t see the comment

[@irfanansari85]

really any one can eat it its has no any damages for health ?

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We get ours from Icing Images...watch our 3 part series on Edible Printing for a ton of information on Icing Images and edible printing...we did it about a month ago.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

it actually does taste pretty good....sort of like really thin fondant. when it is on top of a butter cream icing, you don't even taste it at all.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

we made a new series of videos (3) a couple of months ago on edible printing...check on those and hopefully they'll help you out!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

great! glad you found it!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

it can be used with any printer that is solely used for edible products and you put the edible ink cartridges in place of the chemical ones.

[@lillybelle5572]

Never knew it was so simple

[@cookbakehacks631]

[@irenemason5479]

I just love this concept. Thank you for sharing

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@hotvamp666 You can print any image ... just like a regular printer.

[@Dianevara]

Thanks for taking time to reply my questions. Love your videos.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We use Adobe Photoshop, but most image editing programs can be used.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@Nathal2009 No, it doesnt have a CD or anything like that to help you out. Basically you have to teach yourself. When you need it to fit a cake, you just cut the image out with scissors or an exacto knife.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great! So glad I was able to help you out. If you have anymore questions, let me know.

[@anyesastayman655]

hello! what app do you use to upload the image onto the computer?

[@alizahalisto7417]

What is the name of the machines that does that

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Hi Jazmin, I'm sure you can find something like that to print off...good luck! Sounds like a great cake idea.

[@jenniferwright4368]

hey can you tell me if the Canon Pixma iP2702 Photo Inkjet Printer would work for printable images and where i would be able to purchase the ink?

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@PleazurAble2ME Yes … All the manufactures of the edible ink products will have a list of compatible printers on their sites.

[@shainaisrael]

Hi, I just started and I set up my canon printer and my printer asks me what type of paper I'm printing on (glossy, matte, etc.) and I'm not sure what option to choose. because Icing images edible paper isn't an option. thanks in advance!

[@kumudinikonara902]

Thank you for your instructions. How did you cut this nicely?

[@lauraellison1404]

Do you have the links to where I can buy all the stuff your usong. Paper ,ink, printer, software ect please thank you

[@azrafatima5925]

What is the name of this printer?

[@edmondhamtig6476]

how you put the different ink on that machine what brand of ink you recommend

[@matthewchazwell5529]

I see you are using a cannon printer ,what do you think about the mg5520 for printing edible images?

[@mpsarvanan]

Cool presentation. Very clear explanation

[@jaimelocs614]

What software is that for the images Having issues getting the right size of picture

[@nikolasovilj6591]

How long did you wait for the topper to dry before cutting it and placing it onto the cake? Did you let it just sit or put it in a seal?

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

What our video series on edible printing...it will answer all of your questions.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

[@Purpaderps]

Thank you for posting this video! I am having trouble setting up print margins. Either I it prints over the edges or not quite to the edges. What settings and program do you use to print? Thanks!

[@dora519]

Yes it is, I use the wilton sheets as well as the white sheets from Icing Images.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@12enma12 If you don't want to use the machine a paintbrush and edible inks would work too!

[@kingCudi3D]

please what application do you use to edit because i'm having a lot of problem printing on the round type like you did

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

You're welcome! It is a great tool to have :)

[@gigglebox220]

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. It was exactly what I was looking for!

[@brendalauwenwen8805]

what model of the printer should we use to print the photo for put on the top of the cake?

[@nikulsharma278]

Is any specific software is used to print image

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We keep it in a sealed bag if we aren't using it immediately after printing.

[@htsxycoco]

The printers you use are no longer available can you recommend any newer models

[@AKSuzyQ]

Thanks for sharing! Does the frosting 'seep' through the paper? I would be worried about staining from the crisco or butter!

[@user-os9mi6im1q]

hi , can I ask what machine is this that prints the edible paper.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We use the Premium sheets.

[@makenziezellefrow7936]

Frosting sheets from a company called "Icing Image".

[@mukuljamindar5076]

[@Atasteofheaven_1]

[@chrishosford3391]

[@kandykellisfx4212]

[@r.phillips2388]

[@connieherrera1388]

Question: buying edible ink can i run it on my copier to push out or can it be washed out the ink paper or i need to get another copier i want to try this looks fun wish but kinda knew but wasnt sure where to get sheets know i know

[@susanharvell6418]

I bought the new canon printer from icing images. Got it all set up to print. But when I print my image the colors do not come out very good. I changed my print setting to photo and it came out a bit better, but not like the original scan I did. Your pics look so crisp and clear.. Any ideas on what I am doing?

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

it clogs sometimes, but it is quite easy to unclog.

[@htsxycoco]

Do you only use Canon printers and are all canon prints good for edible printing?

[@Snoooozieee]

is there a spacific printer that i should be looking for? are they called something different as apposed to a normal printer?

[@namo20111]

how can I get the printer! That is sooo awesome! please answer me! I am very interested in it!

[@Machelle3200]

Wtf! I thought they drew these images on...WOW! I'm so getting one of these cake printing kits!

[@Serbo-Greek]

How thick materials can printers take? Sometimes regular paper 80g can be clogged in the printer. What if a cake gets in the printer? I am still not sure if this can work well

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@gobigstanley1 The icing sheets are tasteless and have a slight vanilla smell. As far as I'm aware, the machines that print directly on cakes are for larger commercial uses and are expensive. If this is something that you are in the market for, you should contact one of their sales rep to get a demo to see if they fit your needs better.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, the printers are the same as you buy from office supply stores. BUT … not all printers have edible ink cartridges available for them. For whatever brand of edible ink you want to buy, you need to go to their site and get a list of printers they support.

[@stephanieverzola9097]

Hello, what size is the bigger paper? Thank you..

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We order them from company called "Icing Images".

[@thaliagail5660]

hi i would like to know what program do you use for the cake templet on the paper to know what size to use on different size cakes

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

It doesn't have a taste (unlike some edible paper) and the sugar blends in with the buttercream. It's really great product.

[@OLAJUMOKEable]

Pls can l use normal printer for this and pls if it as any printer maker that is normal

[@iackydana]

What model of canon is yours??

[@lowlowlow32]

What was the software you use I can't found one

[@Cybersniper6]

Are edible sheets and wafer paper the same? or should I say can you use them in the same fashion?? Thank you in advance, I enjoy your channel.

[@pureheartsfam5865]

Can I jus remove the ink if I'm not using the printer instead of printing once a week

[@fineprinterkhargone]

Can I Use a normal printer like epson l805 ink tank for this printing Or any other Suggest me
