My daughter's first birthday theme is "One is Fun" (http://www.1stwishes.com/Celebrate_Theme.aspx?id=393). I was thinking of doing a two tier (stacked construction) fondant covered cake with her handprints. Here's my dilema. How do I get her handprints on it (other than sticking her hand in food color)? Any suggestions?
I was trying to think of a good way of getting this done, and the only thing I can think of, is that you may be able to get a rubber stamp made of her hand prints? I know that they make hand print stamps already (I have little hands and feet stamps), but stores like office max, etc can make them custom for you. I have no idea what the cost on that would be, but it may be worth it, so you don't have to worry about "inking" your daughters hands over and over. Also, as long as you use them just on food items, I think that would be ok.
I ended up using rubber stamps from the craft store with Wilton food color slightly watered down with vanilla. I think they came out pretty well!

what if you did an edible image of her prints.
You did a great job on the cake. I love all the different colors.Quote by @%username% on %date%
