Please help me... Where did you girls get the Bud Light edible images at?
I made a Budweiser can and I searched google for the image. I then printed it out on an edible image frosting sheet. If you don't have a printer for edible images, you can print it out on regular paper, cut it out and attach that to a thin piece of fondant, then place on your cake. There are other ways to do it. If you need more info on how, let us know.

Please don't ever, EVER advocate placing regular printer ink on a cake - even though you advised to put it on another piece of fondant.
I actually had a cake student tell me that she had been using regular printer ink on wafer paper for years, and feeding that to her friends, customers, and family. I did some research and found that printer ink has ingredients in it which get deposited in the body and can cause long-term damage to organs. It is actually poisonous.
Just don't do it...even if you are serving the cake at home and know you will be removing the poisonous ink...just don't do it.

Cakepro,
I am only telling her what I've read here many times before on how to do these images, if you don't have a printer dedicated to edible ink. This is the first I'm hearing of it being dangerous. As with so many other topics related to food safety, we are given the data and then make the decision what to do with it.
I'm glad to be an educational resource on this subject then.
PRINTER INK IS POISONOUS. IT CONTAINS INGREDIENTS THAT GET DEPOSITED IN THE BODY AND DO LONG TERM DAMAGE TO ORGANS. DO NOT PUT IT ON CAKES.
'Nuff said.

Note: Nitrates and their derivatives can cause methemoglobinemia and result in respiratory depression. Primary indicators of prolonged exposure include
shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness and cyanosis (bluish skin and lips).
1,5-Pentanediol: Contact with eyes and skin may cause irritation.
Alkyldiol ethoxylate #1: Contact with eyes may result in severe irritation and corneal injury. Contact with skin may result in severe irritation. Ingestion may cause irritation of mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
