How to Decorate a Cake With a Photo
- 1). Copy the photo with a color copy machine. This will prevent the original photo from being damaged.
- 2). Apply self-adhesive clear laminate paper to the front and back of the copy you made in step one.
- 3). Cut through the laminate and the copy paper along the edges of the photo to trim away the excess material.
- 4). Cover your cake with any type of frosting.
- 5). Place the photo lightly onto the frosted cake. Do not press the photo down into the frosting or you may end up peeling away most of the frosting when you remove the photo.
- 6). Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of frosting into a resealable sandwich bag and cut off one of the bottom corners of the bag to create a 1/8-inch diameter hole.
- 7). Squeeze the frosting through the hole in the bag and onto the edge of the photo. Pipe a line of frosting all the way around the photo to secure it to the cake and hide the edge. This will help the photo blend into the cake.
