For my wonderful, amazing and beautiful sisters birthday this year I wanted to make some yummy cakeyness designed around her passion for picking up random vintage objects & photographs, and giving them a new home and lease of life. Over the last few years she has become highly skilled at this!!
I took my chosen images down to my local cake shoppe where I was able to have two pages printed for a small fee. I was presented with printed sheets of thin icing which you simply cut to size and glue to your cake and although I use the word 'simply', I can definitely confirm that there is a 'knack' to it!! I will admit that I wasn't overwhelmed with the print quality but I suppose it all depends on the printer and I can't help my perfectionist ways can I?! J
I will most definitely be experimenting further in the art of edible printing, and my sister absolutely loved her cupcakes, to the point of wanting to frame them uneaten, forever... but panic not, I ate one anyway! J
So I decided to design some cupcakes using vintage photographs as decoration giving me a chance to experiment with the art of edible printing. This edible printing lark has been on my mind quite a bit recently, not in the manner of being able to decorate hundreds of cupcakes with David Beckham’s face in 30 seconds flat, but from a more creative and artistic point of view and these cupcakes gave me the perfect excuse.
