I see these beautiful cakes with photographs on them and would love to be able to do that at home. Does anyone know how to go about doing that? Do I need a special printer or just special paper and edible ink cartridges???

There are only certain printers out there that you can buy edible ink cartridges for. You can go to www.Kopykake.com and find out which printers are compatible. I have an epson, but most people buy the Canon models. You will want to buy a brand new printer, one that hasn't had regular Ink run through it, and you can find a lot of really good deals on Ebay for the printers.

thank you very much

I would also check your local cake supply stores. You can bring them a picture on a disk (make sure you have the rights to use it), and they print it for you (it's only $5 per picture where I live). Then you won't have to buy all that equipment!

I took my edible image to Wal-Mart and they printed it for me for $5.00. You don't have to put it on a disk - in fact, I don't think their machine handles that kind - just bring the picture that you want done. It is $5.00 for an 8x11 sheet so I was able to fit 2 images on one sheet for that amount.
