How do they print photorealistic images on cake?

255 viewsOther

I’ve been to a small handful of particularly bougie birthday parties, where they have custom-made cakes with photorealistic images of the birthday child on the top.

It’s quite a sight to see when the cake is just sitting there; once they start serving, it becomes a bit less so, with people getting a slice of cake with the kid’s eye or chin over the icing.

But I’m more concerned with how the hell they manage to accomplish this feat in the first place. How do they make a photorealistic portrait of a human being out of icing?

They have printers that use edible ink and they have edible sheets you use for the printer. You can also order pre-printed sheets if you are doing your own cake, but most places you can order a custom cake have some type of dedicated printer to do so. (:
