Would you believe edible ink & paper?
My wife came back from a wedding shower with a cookie decorated with a photo of the bride and groom. One bite and I knew what had to be going on. A simple Google search turned up this site:

I've seen printed rice paper used to decorate cup cakes etc.
(Dimly remembered from when my "little girl" actually wanted to make vile pink Barbie cakes etc.) __________________ Lois Wakeman http://lois.co.uk http://communicationarts.co.uk http://i4info.blog.co.uk |

Here too. I vaguely remember having seen a photo of the process in the newspaper. It's something like a flatbed inkjet plotter that uses edible inks or food coloring.

I first tasted them in 1960 or so — that has been around a long time. Wonder if the newer technology is related. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

I did not detect much taste in the paper and image. As others have noted here, edible paper is not particularly new. I was not aware of the ink carts for otherwise regular printers.

And one of these days, a visitor is going to get even with you and toss in some genuine plastic ones for you to munch. <g>

Yes!
Botan-ame (or bochan-ame, depending on whose romanization system you like). You can still get them. __________________ Steve Rindsberg ==================== www.pptfaq.com www.pptools.com and stuff |
