IDEAS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED PICTURES
The fastest way to add images to your cake would be to make your own “edible images”.
This website sells edible image systems that work with your own PC and they offer a wide range of prices as well.

One very creative idea is to use templates so you can use various borders etc.
You need Photo Express version 1. Templates come with this software. I've used portions of several to make my own templates and to add various items from these pre-made templates onto other pictures. The writing is expecially nice on the WEDDING template. You can change the writing to your own preferred message. I've used the balloons on other pictures too.

This template comes with Photo Express

and I made this. You could also add a border.

Scrapbook software is another very convenient software tool when making edible images:

You can create beautiful edible image pages using Scrapbook Factory (available online), or other favorite software. You can add your own photos or writing. I save these as a JPG to print, but you can print directly onto your frosting sheets from the scrapbook software also.

	MAKE-A-BOOK CAKE Make a book cake and wrap with edible image you print out. The feather can be made of wafer paper The cross can be made of chocolate and painted using gold highlighter dust. Glasses also formed by hand using gumpaste (no mold yet avail)
	FRAME CAKE USING EDIBLE PRINT Frame made using our mold frame. A traditional image can be fancied by simply adding a fondant icing frame. After applying an edible image to the top of an iced cake, cut one inch strips of chocolate fondant. Press the fondant into an impression mold. (I used a elegant lace impression mold Moisten the back of the strip slightly and apply to the outside border of the edible image. Miter the corners and Viola! An easy, beautiful frame for an edible image portrait! I finished the bottom of my portrait cake with a simple pearl border in matching fondant for a more elegant look. Faceted Pearl Mold
	Make an IPhone The edible image can be an effective use to finish off a replica cake. Finite and minute details are easily achieved by the use of the edible image. For the I-phone Cake, the process was a simple one. Cover a sheet cake in black fondant, and cut out specific images (ie. the buttons, screen) with embroidery scissors and place where it would be positioned on a real phone. Using a damp brush, moisten just the specific areas where image should be applied, and lay the cut pieces carefully in place. When you finish that step, apply a strip of white fondant around the side of the cake and color it with silver luster dust.
	CELEBRATE WINE FESTIVAL CAKE So, use your imagination!! Think outside the box. The bottles were made using coating chocolate and bottle chocolate molds. And let the Edible Image simplify your cake decorating life!
	Here is an easy trick for trimming away the white edge of your Edible Image® Designer Prints™. Use a pastry wheel cutter with the sharp edge. Cutters are available with one straight edge wheel and one zigzag edge wheel. These are wonderful for cutting the straight edge or adding an optional zigzag pattern to the edges of your Designer Prints™. This way, you can make sure your Designer Print™ is cut evenly (and straightly) on both sides. Alternatively, you can use a ribbon insertion tool with the pointed blade (Item #43381) or an X-Acto type razor knife to trim the ends. You will still need the razor knife for the last cut on the Designer Print™. After you have wrapped the cake and met the strip to the end of the last strip, cut the excess part of the strip while it is on the cake. It's best to make that last cut in an upward motion, so you have a clean even cut that does not pull the Designer Print™ away from the cake. Or, if you have a steady hand, you can just use scissors.

Here are a few pictures I took of my finished product using the edible images you printed for me..Thanks you for the extra copies! I think she used real bats for the columns. The image is one we printed for her on frosting sheets.
