Instructions
Step 1
Select the photo or picture you want to put on the cake. This can be, for example, a portrait of a birthday boy, a family photo, a company or sports team logo, a drawing with characters from children's cartoons and fairy tales, a beautiful landscape, a photo of a celebrity. Place a photo of the newlyweds on the wedding cake. The image you have chosen can be edited using a photomontage to make it more colorful, more interesting, and add funny details. It all depends on your imagination and on the theme of the holiday on which your photo-cake will be served.
Step 2
Resize the image to fit the size and shape of the cake.
Send the photo to the food printer, according to its instructions. The image is printed on food-grade paper with food colors.
You can choose the edible paper yourself. It comes in a sugar, rice, waffle or vanilla base.
Step 3
Place the image on the cake. First, use scissors to cut the edges of the paper along the outline of the printed photo. Then carefully transfer the pictured edible paper to the top of the cake.
Step 4
Apply frosting over the top of the photo to set and create a glossy shine. For the photo to be better seen, the glaze must be transparent. The preparation of transparent glaze is carried out in a hot way, which consists in thoroughly stirring or grinding the ingredients provided for in your recipe in a bowl placed in a water or steam bath.
Apply a thin layer of the transparent glaze prepared in the above way with a brush to the photo. To distribute the glaze evenly, apply in quick, short strokes. Immediately, while the first layer of glaze is still wet, apply the second.
An exclusive birthday cake with a surprise photo is ready.
