Put Photos on a Cake

Want to try something different than the usual cartoon character on your child’s next birthday cake? Looking for a way to surprise your sweetie on your anniversary? Like the taste of a homemade cake but can’t decorate worth a darn? Icing Images will take a digital photo that you upload and send you a sheet of edible sugar with your image on it. Simply press the sheet onto your frosting, and in a short while the image will transfer. You can chose a size to fit a sheet cake, a circular cake, or a dozen cupcakes. It costs $11-19, plus shipping, whicih to my mind falls into the “slight extravagance, but OK for special occasions” category. I haven’t tried them myself, though, so caveat emptor. (Thanks to Make for the tip. See Photojojo for detailed instructions and links to some cupcake ideas.)
