How to Use Edible Images to Instantly Elevate Your Cakes and Cookies

Posted by Tanya Montgomery on 20th May 2025

Are you a cake maker or cookie decorator looking for a way to wow your customers and speed up your workflow? Whether you’re creating custom birthday cakes, wedding favours, or eye-catching cookies for markets, there's one tool that will instantly transform your bakes: An edible ink printing system.

With edible image printing, you can add stunning, professional-quality designs to cakes, cookies, and cupcakes – in just minutes. No painting, no piping, and no stress. Just print, peel, and apply.

At Edible Image Supplies, we specialise in high-quality edible ink printers, food-safe edible inks, and premium icing sheets that help bakers like you unlock a whole new level of creativity – effortlessly.

Let’s dive into just how powerful (and easy!) edible images can be.

.  

1. Edible Cake Toppers – Personalised Perfection, Made Easy

Looking to create a cake that’s personal, memorable, and beautiful? With edible image printing, you can add photos, graphics, text, or logos directly to the top of your cake using our gluten-free icing sheets and food-grade edible inks.

Whether it’s a birthday, baby shower, or business event, a custom cake topper made with your own edible ink printer gives your bake that “wow” factor – without any hand-painting.

 

2. Branded Cookies – Big Impact for Small Treats

Cookies are the perfect canvas for edible images – especially for corporate gifts, party favours, and themed events. You can print names, monograms, logos or festive graphics, cut them to size, and apply directly to fondant or royal icing.

Using our pre-cut icing sheets, you can easily prepare multiple cookie toppers on one A4 sheet, saving time and reducing waste.

 

3. Edible Cake Wraps – Easy, Elegant, and Eye-Catching

Don’t have time to pipe or paint? Wrap your cake in a stunning edible design instead! With our flexible edible icing sheets, you can create seamless edible wraps that go around the sides of your cake.

Choose florals, geometric prints, or your own custom graphics and achieve a polished finish with minimal effort.

 

4. Movie/Flim Reel Cakes – Tell a Story in Every Slice

This trending cake design is a customer favourite! Print a series of photos (baby to now, engagement to wedding, pet pics, etc.), then trim and wrap them around your cake like a film strip. It’s personal, meaningful, and impossible not to admire.

Print vivid, smudge-free images with your Edible Printer and vibrant edible inks.

 

5. Hyper-Realistic Cakes – “Is It Real or Is It Cake?”

You’ve seen the viral videos – cakes that look exactly like takeaway boxes, designer handbags, or gadgets. Often, it’s edible printing that makes those cakes look so real. You can replicate labels, screens, logos and fine details using our edible wafer paper or icing sheets.

   

6. Cake Figurines – Add Lifelike Details with Ease

If you create fondant figures or character toppers, edible images make the job easier. Instead of hand-painting features, print them with precision using Edible Icing Sheets or thin Wafer Paper (0.3mm), then apply directly to your figurines.

 

7. Personal Touches on Any Bake – Fast and Fuss-Free

The best part? You don’t have to be a professional artist. With a complete Edible Ink Printing System from Edible Image Supplies, you can bring any idea to life in just a few easy steps:

  1. Design or upload your image.
  2. Print using your dedicated edible printer.
  3. Peel the icing sheet and apply it to your cake, cookie, or cupcake.
  4. Done – wow your customer!

Our food-safe edible inks are made in Italy to the highest quality standards, and our icing sheets are gluten-free, slightly vanilla-flavoured, and peel effortlessly every time. You can also print directly on our Edible Wafer Paper and Chocolate Transfer Sheets the the same Edible Ink Printer.
