I need to get an edible image printed up. I have to put the names of 40 people on 2 scrolls for a graduation cake in June.
I don't have an edible image printer so I was wondering if there's a company that prints out edible images individually (if that makes sense).
Does anyone know? I think I should be ordering now as I need it for the 2nd week of June.
TIA!
The TCBY stores near me will do them, too. The charged me $5 per sheet last time I went there, but that was 3 years ago.

Yes, any old printer will work, as long as they make EI cartridges for it. 
I don't have one, mind you, but I know the details just in case, someday...
So you have 4o names total? Why couldn't you just use food writers and hand write them on wafer paper or 50/50?
What the?
$10 a sheet? Is that $10 Canadian? LOL!
Playin': we don't have TCBY here (sad, because I actually like the yogurt)
Yes, $10 Canadian for a 8x11 sheet. If I need smaller pics I just print off a page full of them and cut the pics out of the EI paper. So if I need 6 smallest pics I just put them on 1 sheet.
I think printing them would make them look more professional unless you have perfect icing handwriting - which I DO NOT!
I bought my Canon all in one for $99 plus shipping and then bought the edible ink cartridges from kopykake.com. check there for the brands of printers the EI carts will fit and then buy the printer accordingly. They also have frosting sheets available. Different from rice paper or wafer paper.
For a cake, wafer paper aka rice paper is not the way to go any more. You really need a good quality icing sheet aka frosting sheet. I charge my customers $12.95 per quarter sheet, but I gaurantee nothing but ohhhs and ahhhs when it is done. 1 complaint in 2 years is not a bad reputation.
Yes you can use many different printers for edible prints, but do not settle on something tha is not of a good quality, do your research first. My best advise is to follow the link that I have provide and choose from those models. These print the best, have very good photo quality ( I mean you think you could take the icing sheet and put it in a frame when your done) and shop around for pricing, there is more than one manufacturer out there for edible inks and some have better pricing and higher quality. Either way best of luck and I am sure whatever you do will turn out great.

Wow! Thanks for the info Andy.
Right now I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase of a whole set of edible imaging stuff. This is the first request I've had for anything that would require this and I've been doing this for a loooong time. I do thank you for taking the time to walk me through that and explaining it to me though. I'm a Bronx girl so I would've definitely gone the cheap route...you know bootleg it? LOL!
I hope you figured out how to get it done. Did you call your bakery?
I just got my printer a few months ago. I have my first order using it for a cake due tomorrow (Sunday). I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is OK to put the image on the cake the day before? Will it wrinkle? When is the best time to put it on? TIA.
I would wait until the last hour or 2 to put it on. That gives it enough time to merge, and make sure that it isnt refridgerated after you put it on, the moisture build up from the cold air will make your print bleed.

Thank you. I will wait until tomorrow to put it on. Thanks again!
