Edible cake photo prints are sheets of edible paper that are printed with food coloring and can be placed on top of a cake to give it a unique and personalized appearance. They can be made from ingredients like potato starch, sugar, water, and edible food coloring, and are commonly used for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. The edible print can be customized with a photo, design, or message and is a safe and non-toxic way to decorate cakes. To use, simply remove the backing and place the edible print onto a freshly iced cake or onto fondant.

Sugar Paper:
Sugar paper is a type of edible paper made from ingredients like potato starch, sugar, water, and edible food coloring. It is used in the creation of edible cake photo prints and other edible products.
Sugar paper is safe and non-toxic, making it a popular choice for cake decoration. It is also flexible and easy to work with, allowing for intricate designs and photos to be printed onto it. Sugar paper is also available in a variety of colors, allowing for even more creative possibilities in cake decoration.
In general, sugar paper is made by mixing the ingredients together, spreading the mixture into thin sheets, and then drying it. The dried sheets can then be printed with food coloring to create the desired design or image. Once printed, the sugar paper is cut to size and ready to be placed onto a cake.
Wafer Paper:
Wafer paper is a type of edible paper made from potato starch, water, and glycerin. It is similar to sugar paper but has a thinner, more delicate texture and is often used for cake decorating and other food applications.
Wafer paper is commonly used for creating delicate edible decorations such as petals, leaves, and flowers for cakes, cupcakes, and other baked goods. It is also used for printing edible images and designs, such as photos, onto cake surfaces. Unlike sugar paper, wafer paper is not as sweet, which makes it a popular choice for decorating desserts that have a sweeter flavor profile.
Wafer paper is easy to work with and can be cut, shaped, and molded into a variety of designs. It is also flexible and can be applied to curved or irregular surfaces. Additionally, wafer paper is safe and non-toxic, making it a safe and effective material for food decoration.
