I am in the process of designing a cake for the grand opening of a local library. I am going to make a stack of books with one open book beside the stack. I want to put an image of the architect's rendition of the facade of the building on the open book. The library will loan me the drawing, but how do I get an image? Help, please?

I've seen websites such as copycakes.com ... do a google search for edible images and you'll find it .... recently I called Publix our local supermarket and they said they would sell me the image only

you might check your cake supply stores in your area.

I kind of live in the boonies. Our WalMart is just the regular kind, no grocery or bakery and our only cake supply place other than Michael's etc. is pretty basic.

I will try the grocery store, but somehow I doubt that they will do it since they refused to even sell me a cake box when I asked.

I found a place out by Knotts Berry Farm out here in So. Ca. that does edible images really reasonably. It's only a 20 min drive for me, so I was happy to find them! I know you can mail order them too, but not sure of the exact sites. You'd definitely want to give yourself enough time to get the image in the mail.

I won't need it until May, but since this is such an important cake, I want to be prepared well ahead of time. Does anyone know of any mail order places? I tried a search for edible images, but was only coming up with premade ones. I would also like to use someone that is known to some of you and recommended.

We have Kroger's where I'm at, and they won't sell cake boxes either icon_sad.gif , but they will sell an edible image of whatever you bring in for $5.00.
