The purpose of cakes has changed from feeding people to celebrating special occasions. Keeping with the trend, today's cake decorating is all about visual appeal. Customizing the top of the cake with printed edible frosting sheets is very easy with an edible cake printer. Everyone appreciates this idea regardless of their generation.
It is simple to understand. Your younger audience will likely be more creative if you're baking for them. Therefore, they are likely to be excited when they order their favorite Disney characters for a party treat.
Old people, too, have a lot of memories. Using cake printers, you can display their favorite photographs as edible cake toppers to help them relive their best years.
Frosting Sheets for Vibrant Images
To begin with, all you need is an edible cake printer along with good quality edible frosting sheets. Blank frosting sheets are great for printing high-resolution images. Modern frosting sheets are packed in between layers of plastic sheet. This holds the icing in place as the paper goes through the cake printer. The sheet can be used on any kind of frostings such as marzipan, fondant, chocolate or cream.
Using an edible printer for cake you can even print your own images, patterns or experiment with cutting the frosting sheets into designs of your making. The more thought you put into creating the cake topper, the more impressed your loved ones are likely to be.
Point to Remember
Once you’ve printed the image on top of the edible paper you ought to let it dry for between one to two hours. If the backing layer still doesn’t peel off easily then put the sheet into a freezer for up to 10 seconds. Alternatively, you could put it into an oven at low temperatures for a minute or two. This will cause uneven heating and cooling and separate the layers more visibly. Now leave the sheet on top of your cake where it will be seamlessly absorbed into the frosting leaving a clear crisp image.
Themes, Designs, and Patterns Using Cake Printers
Wafer papers are typically used by professional bakers to transport high-quality images onto cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. Decorations done with wafer paper sit straight up on top of the cake’s icing. Wafer paper dissolves in water only, so it is used commonly on Jell-O desserts, fruitcakes, gelatine transfers, and marzipan. Icinginks’ edible wafer paper is the highest quality of printable wafer paper which is compatible with Icinginks edible printers for cake available in the US. These sheets are allergen, gluten, and nut free for maximum usability. These edible papers are very flexible and can be cut into any design or shape. How you use them is limited only by your imagination.
Icinginks’ thin frosting sheets or sugar sheets are more flexible and smooth when compared to its Prime Edible frosting sheets. At 0.32 mm thickness, they easily settle down over fondant, marzipan, chocolate, buttercream or whipped cream. The method of drying and applying them onto cake toppers is the same as that for the thicker edible frosting. The advantage is that they can be placed over slightly more uneven surfaces.
Cake Decorations with Edible Frosting Sheets
One of the most exposed surfaces of your beautiful wedding or birthday cake is the side surface. These surfaces are hard to apply printed image sheets because gravity will pull the soft layer down, thus ruining the cake’s look. Icinginks’ Flexifrost Edible Fabric Sheets can be folded easily without breaking. These are perfect for side surfaces of cakes. They can also be cut conveniently with a pair of scissors, blade or knife to fit surfaces upon which they are placed.
Bling It Up With Edible Shimmer
Edible cake shimmer is a great hit with professional and home bakers. They add extra color to an otherwise dull celebration and add that much needed shine and glitter to cake decoration. This effect is easily created with special Icinginks Shimmer/ Sparkling sheets.
These are a few of the commonest design ideas for great cake decorations and great parties. So get yourself an edible printer for cake kit and get started now!
