We will cover 3 topics:

It’s fair to say that perhaps cake decorating, did not change for generations. Pop culture with movies, and, Tv Shows now shape the decorating landscape.

Economics and, information technology played a big factor.

If you are not familiar with edible cake images, You are in the right place!

What are edible cake images and, how they are being used in pop culture?

If you look really close, at a birthday scene when you are watching a movie or tv show. you are very likely to see a birthday cake with an edible decoration.

Tv Shows and Movies fuel many ideas for cakes. It has become a self, sustained relationship and a new standard, in cake decorating.

Some bakers might feel differently in small sectors of the market, such as weddings, and specialty niches. But if you picture a big pie chart of cake decoration types, Pop culture dominates.

This brings me to a perfect example of how pop culture affects everything in cake decorating.

You are probably familiar with Disneys Frozen Movie.

Princess Elsa is one of the main characters of the movie and, also one of the best selling edible images on amazon.

Copyrighted material cannot be printed and sold, because is illegal.

The only company that is allowed, to print disney images is, DecoPac.

We will dedicate an episode to copyrighted material. Copyright is a law, that protects the artist or owners of the intellectual property.It was created to incentivized artist and creators.

At this time edible images are very popular for printing photographs for cakes, cookies and cupcakes. Experienced cake decorators are using edible images in more sophisticated forms. You can see edible images in complex detail cakes like 3d cakes and even in classic fondant tier cakes.

Slowly edible printing is becoming more popular due to it’s consistency, precision and economics.

What I mean by consistency is that people are asking for this product. It's execution is very precise, what you see is what you get.

Economics wise, the printer systems are getting cheaper every year. Just with a couple of hundred dollars you can get your self a cake printing station.

You can get edible images in most popular online stores like eBay, amazon and go go cakes. As an alternative you may go to your local Walmart or baskin robins.
