Christian Reese Lassen Cake (1 Viewer)

I finally got an order for a cake where I actually LOVE the subject!

I painstakingly recreated various Christian Reese Lassen prints by hand on this cake I did yesterday. Okay, I have an edible image printer and printed them out, then put the edible images on the cake. Isn't it beeeutiful?

Jeez, you'd think after serving the club and being a member since 2001 (I have all of my membership cards to prove it), someone would have let me keep my custom avatar.

Thanks so much, whichever one of you deleted it!!

How does the edible image thing work? I have this mental picture of edible paper going through the printer.

Thanks, Robert!

Karen, that's exactly right. Edible images are frosting sheets. Some people use wafer paper or rice paper, but I order frosting sheets from a place called KopyKake. The inks are food colors in replaceable inkjet cartridges, available for Epson and Canon printers. My printer is a Canon Pixma ip3000, which is actually a photo printer, so it works very well for my applications. It's a dedicated edible images printer, so no real ink has ever gone through it.

Hey Sheri, is there a fondant layer under that, or just regular icing?

 

[Guest]

Sherri, that is unbelievable. Very impressive.

Thanks, y'all.

Karen, on that cake, I applied the edible images directly to the buttercream. I do love doing fondant cakes, though! Here's one from a couple of weekends ago. This one was fun because it (finally) wasn't a monochromatic wedding cake, and I was able to use color, plus I airbrushed the whole cake in pearl dust! The birthday girl was a little all over the map with the various elements she wanted! LOL The entire cake is fondant except for the buttercream border.

Sherri, that fondant cake is awesome! How much does something like that cost? I may want one for my daugthers birthday in a few months.

I love that cake. Too cute! I'd love to try my hand at that some day. Looks like a lot of fun.
