Edible ink anyone ?
Edible
ink has been around for a while, but it is still no completely
understood.  Basically, edible ink is ink that is safe to eat.  Mostly
it is used in the baking industry.
You
might have seen this and not realize it.  Bakers use it to decorate
food or to make novelty items such as photograph cakes.  Commercial
bakeries were the first to use this technology, but now it is available
for home use.There are a few printer models on the market that can use
edible inks.  There are some Canon and Epson printers on the market
currently that can use this technology.The edible ink cartridges look
similar to regular ink cartridges and they are installed the same way
as any other ink cartridge.

Once you have a compatible printer
for edible ink, you will need icing sheets and edible ink cartridges. 
The edible ink cartridges are installed in the printer and you print
your designs on sheets of icing paper.This special icing paper is made
of sugar or cornstarch and corn syrup.  The sheets are very thin and
come in different sizes.Once you printer your design on the icing
paper, you place the paper on top of the frosted cake or baked item. 
The icing sheet will absorb into the icing.
