Can someone please let me know where I can order an edible image in the Chicago area? I've tried calling local supermarkets - Walmart, Jewel, etc - but they aren't willing to do it, especially if it's a trademark name. I need to make a Jack Daniel liquor bottle logo. I tried piping it and it was a miserable failure. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!!! icon_biggrin.gif

Its in Spanish but the images are very good. Trace with non toxic carbon sheet on both sides, you can find this at any Office Supplies and then color it or cut it like the video. This year I'm buying a printer for my edible images because their expensive here in Puerto Rico, if you can do the same just need a printer that can use edible ink cartridges and the sugar sheets. I hope I help you thumbs_up.gif

Because its trademarked, you may have trouble finding someone, but there are many people on Ebay who will do it. http://stores.ebay.com/Cakes-4-Cause is one that I found that may be able to help

Thank you both. That video is great! It would be much easier with a printer. Do you know if my printer is compatable with edible ink/paper can I use it if I still use it as a standard printer? Or do I need a dedicated printer for edible imaging?

It really must be dedicated. Ink gets everywhere in the printer so you really do not want to take a chance on getting someone sick....
