I have been searching the internet for a place that sells Edible Images. I found several sites, but they don't have a big selection. I was looking for a halloween one to do a fast cake for the school's harvest party. Where do all of you get yours from?
Thanks,
Crystal

Have you tried Sugarcraft?

I usually find a colored picture that I like, take it to a copy store and have them inlarge it to the size I need. This cost somewhere in the neighborhood from 24 cents to a $1.19 depending on size. I then take this copy to my Wall Mart store's bakery and they print my ediable image. This cost $5.00.(or check your local bakery stores) I know this sounds like alot of running around,I don't have enough calls for the images yet to invest in the equipment needed.OH!! almost forgot----Be carefull of copy rights. Hope this will help

You can also do a google search for Halloween edible images. I saw one earlier today. I have been looking for ideas for a haunted house cake that I have to do. When you click on the image it should take you to the website where you can order it. Good luck!

I don't thinkI understand how edible images work. If you buy the printer needed do I still have to take it to a bakery? Aslo can I use any picture I find on the web? Sorry to be jumping in on the post but I am really wanting to learn about edible images. Thanks, Melony

..no need to go to the bakery! You print your image out on the frosting sheets and lay it on top of your cake. I have quite a few posted if you care to look!

My Walmart says they will only do it for $25 and they have to send it out of the store to do it and it will take about a week. On the other hand, our local grocery store has a bakery and they do them for me all the time for $6 a sheet and have it ready while I wait.

You guys are lucky. I called Wal-Mart and every other grocery/bakery store here in Longview and no one would print a pic for you without purchasing a cake. So I ended up getting a Canon ip3000 from ebay and have made 3 cakes. Our Wal-mart store sells their pic cakes for $15.00. Picture cake wise I can't compete with that but I KNOW mine taste better.

Doesnt take long to buy enough of them to be worth buying the equipment to do it yourself..it is really cheap to get started

..I second that Kayday! It is worth every penny and then some. It was certainly a good investment for me!!

Mrs. Missey,

I am the one that posted the question re: Tasty Foto Printer. I bought the Canon IP3000 today, I am not sure which frosting sheets and who I should order from;Tasty Foto has an edible paper (potato paper) Kopykake has the frosting sheets for 28/$24.00. Tasty Foto said their ink would not clog the machine. Which company would you suggest I order from? Thanks for all your advise and help.

Not Mrs. Missey but, I bought a Canon ip3000 and I get my sheets and cartridges from Sugarcraft. It sure does a nice picture. I bought the package of 24 frosting sheets and the edible coloring cartridges for about $74.00. HTH

Thanks Mrs. Missey

..you're very welcome!

I also have a canon ip3000. I have ordered my supplies through Kopykake. I love their frosting sheets and get wonderful pictures. You will need to be careful as my black has clogged on me. I followed lisa's instructions on getting unclogged...but took a long time. I have been leaving my ink inside the printer because I print about 3 images a week. I have not had any more trouble with the clogs. I actually think the cleaning cartridge may have had something to do with it. Anyway...my printer has been worth every penny!!!

I bought an i560 Cannon printer from staples for less then $100. I only use the Lucks brand edible ink and frosting sheets. I have never had any problem with clogging, I do clean my about once a week. I charge $5.00 extra for the cake if I use icing images, they aren't cheap to make!
