Cakes are desserts that, during holidays and festivals, have become an essential part of the dining table. Cakes are also a sign of caring for your loved ones and longings. Without a cake-cutting ceremony, no big or small celebration is considered complete. The enjoyment of the party is enhanced by a delicious cake and makes it unforgettable. Customization often adds to the cake the extra charm and elegance as it lets the recipient feel that you are unique.
You can get personalized birthday cakes for any occasions. Some cakes contain personal messages written in icing on end. Others may have favourite superheroes or cartoon characters hanging out to wish you a happy birthday. However, the new trend is for a cake to feature a picture of the person who celebrates the birthday or anniversary.
Those special treats are called picture cakes. The picture on the top of the cake looks like one you might see on your wall in a frame. The difference, however, is that the picture on your cake can be eaten.
How do these picture cakes work?
Thanks to modern technology, creating an edible image that can be used as a cake decoration is a reasonably easy procedure today. First, one needs the picture that you want to put on the cake. You’re good to go if you have a digital photograph that is high in resolution.
You can then print an edible photo, just as you would print a photo on a printer at home. With the right materials, some home printers will print edible images. Select printers that are only used to produce edible photos in most bakeries that make photo cakes. You only need two more things if you have a digital picture file and a printer: paper and ink.
In general, the material used for edible images is referred to as “icing paper” or “frosting sheets.” They made the earliest versions of icing paper out of rice. There are many different kinds of icing paper and frosting sheets available today, however. They are made from a range of compounds, including potatoes, corn starch, and mixtures of sugar and starch. Similarly, non-toxic, edible inks are used on the icing paper or frosting sheets to print the images. These special inks are made from food colouring and sugar.
There are very little texture and no noticeable taste in most edible images. On a moist surface, such as the top of a frosted cake, they are built to dissolve. The photo looks like it was printed directly onto the top of the cake itself until applied and dissolved.
