Can someone tell me where/who to get to do an edible image for me? I have 2 pictures I need images of........the grocery will not do it for me. Is there a company that others use?

A lot of us do our own but I believe Walmart does them too! Might want to give them a call first though!

Our Walmart will do it if it isn't a professionally made picture. It is done in the bakery dept. It takes about 20 minutes so you can drop it off before you go shopping. They only charge $5. Our Kroger's well do it also, They charge $10 and the same rule applies, no professionally done pictures. The Walmart also added that if the picture even looks professional they won't do it. >^.,.^<

I asked this question some time ago...I had no idea how it was done, and I got a ton of answers. One suggested that you start out with a fresh, new printer and you have to use "edible ink" I am not sure where you get it from...and also "edible paper". That is why I chose to have it done by our Walmart. Seemed to hard to do for me...even though it was quite easy. >^.,.^<

Most people use frosting sheets for edible images because the quality of the image is better and frosting sheets will meld into the icing on the cake...won't be noticeable when you eat it.
