Hi Cinderella Would you do a video on cleaning the cricut after use. I have no idea how that would be done. Do you mean clean the cutting mat and blade or is there some other place to be cleaned? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have a new crucut machine never used I also have a cake business out of my home can I combine the two by changing the ink in the machine and adding edible paper in order to use my cricuit machine. Or is this a totally different machine I have to purchase made for cakes cookies etc...
I use my regular cricut for both my paper crafts and edible image sheets. (My cricut only has a marker writing option and doesn’t take ink)I make sure to clean it before and after each use. I do have completely separate cutting mats and blades for the edible image sheets. As far as printing images with a printer you would definitely have to use a new printer that has never printed regular ink. Basically anything that would use regular ink I would not use for anything food related. Hope that helps.
You need a printer that is new and has not had the regular ink printed in it. I purchased my current printer from icinginks.com. If you purchase from an office supply store you should be able to find empty refillable ink cartridges there as well.

Oh no! If you haven't already, definitely reboot everything. You might want to unplug the printer for a couple of minutes before turning it back on. You may even need to reinstall the print driver if it is a problem that just started. There should be a way to do a print status report, it will let you know if there is a possible issue with the actual printer. (printer brand www should have instructions on how to do it, or a support chat line) Are you using the top feeder of the printer to print? I hope you are able to get it fixed up! :) Don't forget to use regular printer paper if you are doing any test printing, those icing sheets are precious. lol
Hi! Thanks for sharing your process. How long do the edible images last on a cookie before they break down and dissolve? Have you tried freezing them? Thank you :)
I have had customers eat them after several weeks, and they said they were still fresh (these were stored in individual cello bags) but I recommend eating them within a couple of days. I do want to try freezing them and see how they react when thawed. I'm worried the images may bleed. It's on the agenda though. lol
I have had that issue before with print and cut on the Cricut. You may want to try and move the edible image paper a little lower on the Cricut mat. If it is too far up it can have a hard time finding the top black line. I hope that helps. :)
so, some people flip the image and set it flipped on the item (my case, jello cake) let it set for a couple seconds and peel it off. Is this the same way to do it but to flip the print? I haven't been able to find a video on how to get prints on my gelatin pallets.
With the edible printer it prints like a normal printer. I don’t have to flip the image. The edible image paper is the same printer settings as a regular print.
TY! I usually get the edible sheets from Icing Images and ink4cakes.com. For shipping I package them individually in a cello bag and then either into a small bubble wrap bag (when i have them) or put them in a single layer and a bubble wrap sheet between each layer inside a bakery box. Then the bakery box inside a larger carboard box with bubble wrap around all 4 sides of the bakery box. Hope that makes sense. :)
I just noticed two things as I’m writing this message, one, you live right here in San Antonio (I’m in Schertz) and, it’s been two years since you posted this video, so I hope you’ll still be able to respond to my message. I own a small gluten free bakery in my home and I’m thinking of getting this set up, but I’m not sure which printer to get. I’ve tried the rice paper, but hated the taste of the paper. If that is what my customers will taste will they still want to purchase them? My second question is concerning your Cricut machine. Is it easier to use an edible printer with a Cricut or with just a computer? I’m trying to add items to my business this year that will help me grow, but I don’t want to purchase items I don’t need. Any help you’re able to give me would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!
The printer being used in this video seems to be popular among bakers for printing edible images especially with it's ability to print wide photos. I'm pretty close to picking this one for my home baking business. The Cricut will make it easier to cut your images, however, you can use it for so much more in your baking business and beyond. For instance, making cake/cupcake toppers (use separate blade for food items), labels and stickers for your products. You could personalize a tshirt, hat, apron or car decal with your logo, etc.
That's a really good question. I'm not exactly sure. I would imagine that the plastic backing helps keep them from drying out so quickly and maybe so that the sheets don't stick to each other in the bag they come in.
Hi i have tried using my edible printer and everytime it leaves lines over them i have no clue what im doing wrong! The colour never comea out like yours please i need aomw advice. Thank you
This has happened to me also, especially if I haven't used my printer in a while. I like to just run regular printer paper through with a test picture/print once a week just to keep it going. Usually it is either low on ink, or one of the printer cartridges may be clogged. I usually run the print test to try and clear it up. (note: red colors are a pain...for some reason they don't ever come out quite right) Here is one of the sites that may help with ideas of how to fix the issues. I would check the print quality with regular printer paper, edible image paper isn't cheap for sure! gizbuyerguide.com/why-does-my-printer-print-photos-with-lines/
Hi when I click on the link for a printer it takes me the printer but it doesn’t say it’s for edible ink.. it’s doesn’t say icing images on it. What is the correct printer?
Technically, you can use any color printer, as long as it has not used regular printer ink in it. (preferably a new printer just to be sure) You would just have to buy a replacement printer ink cartridge and fill it with the edible ink. Icing images has several nice bundles that include printer, ink and frosting sheets. www.icingimages.com/edible-printers
I’ve only used them on chocolate, royal icing and buttercream. I think you can use wafer paper on drink liquids. Not so sure about icing paper. You may be able to use them on paper straws.
Hi! I used the 4oz edible ink refill bottles from icingimages.com. You would just need to use empty ink cartridges for your printer brand/model (they also have ink filled cartridges). You can find them here: www.icingimages.com/edible-ink-cartridges
Rats, looks like the printer is not available. Also is this a reg printer or is it only made for Edible printing? What Edible ink is used for this printer ?
I believe they are just regular printers that have an empty ink cartridges (some come with edible ink pre-filled). As long as they are new and have never had regular ink in them it should be fine (usually new printers keep the ink cartridge separate and not inside the printer). I do clean my printer often, just because you are basically running sugar through them. I use the Icing Images or Inkedibles ink. My regular issues with edible images are: 1 reds colors- its hard to get them the right tint sometimes. 2 if you don't use them regularly the ink can dry out quickly. If I haven't used it in a while I have to refill the cartridges and prime the printer to get it to start printing properly. I do use regular paper for this so I don't waist the expensive edible paper. I'm working on a way to store the cartridges air tight that's not messy. Note...always wear gloves when refilling the ink. Your hands and nails will thank you. :)
@@adrianavaladez I usually run a regular piece of printer paper through the edible printer to check the colors. Just to make sure they look ok. Especially if I haven’t used the printer in a couple of days. If it doesn’t print correctly I’ve only wasted a little ink and cheap paper. The edible paper can get expensive.
Hello, Thank you for your video💕👍 I just purchased my edible image printer & Cricut Explore Air 2 and have no clue how to use it🤦🏻♀️ As you know the Icing sheets are not cheap😞 do you know how to keep from wasting so much paper? I’m trying to make 2” images for chocolate covered Oreos, it just seems so wasteful 😫 from what I can see I should be able to add another row but when I do it sends it to a second page😡 Also, do you happened to know why on the canvas section when I’m creating and adding the images, they show in order but when I go to make it the Cricut scrabbles the order? I suppose it really doesn’t matter, but I still will like to know why it does that🤔 yours didn’t do that, they show up exactly in the order of rows as when you created them. One last thing, why is it that my Cricut doesn’t recognize the registration black lines and it doesn’t want to cut my project? I’m so frustrated and could use your help 🙏 please💕 Thank you in advance ❤️
Hi! I agree, icing sheets are definitely not cheap! I try to keep any of the scrap paper in the same kind of bag they come in. I usually have extra from previous purchases. There is a technique using icing sheets to create decorations in detailed silicone molds almost like sugar lace. (something I want to try) I am also frustrated by the image space waisted, I feel a lot more images could be added to a page! I'm not sure what you mean by the arrangement of the images. I know cricut will align images from canvas on the print/cut step, I sometimes have to rearrange them before I print them. The black line thing happens to me as well. Usually it is because my icing paper is too close to the corners of my mat. If you move it about 1/2" to 1" away from the top and side, it should help it recognize the lines. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need anything else. :)
Why did you leave the plastic on the back of the image…????? Part of the challenge of applying a cut edible image is removing the plastic without compromising the quality of the image. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing the process of creating, printing and cutting. This is a game changer for many confectionery artists. Best of regards to you!!!!
I’m not sure I understand your statement. The plastic was not left on the image. The edible image was peeled off of the plastic and placed on the cookie.
Can you use, piping gel on top of chocolate to adhere these images?
@@brandyolagues9488 yes you can. I use the edible images on chocolate covered Oreos using the piping gel to hold the images on
One of the very best instructional videos!!! Thank you 🎉😊
Thank you so much!

How do you clean it when you switch back and forth? Do you happen to have a video?
Hello! What a great video. What blade are you using?
Hi! TY! I use the standard fine tip blade on the vinyl setting.
Does the edible printable paper come in other colors like black
They do come in different colors. Black is one of them. They have them on icinginks.com
Thank you for getting back to me and answer my question as well as providing a link.
I had idea this was possible! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! What blade did you use?
TY! I use the fine tip blade usually.
Does this work with wafer paper? Considering having to place on a cutting sheet
Honestly I haven't really worked with wafer paper often. I wish I had an answer for you. :(
Great video. My images printed out with no black boarder, so it won't cut.. any idea how to correct that?
You may need to move the image down. So that the border shows. The cricut needs to see the border to know the boundaries of the image.
what ink do you use or what do you mean by empty ink cartridges and fillable ink? where do you get the cartridges and edible ink?
Did she ever answer you? I have the same questions.
no@@cathya9986

Hi first time watching but you don't take out the paper from the back of the images ? Thank u great video
The images are peeled from the back of the image. The backing is clear so it may not be seen clearly.
New to your channel what do u do if the cutter doesn’t recognize the black lines

@@stephaniepinto9390 I've used inkedibles.com and www.icingimages.com/ both worked really well.
What you put on top of cookies.¿
The cookies are iced with royal icing, once dried I brush piping gel onto the cookie and place the printed edible icing sheet on top.
Hi, tfs, this is just what I needed! I was wondering though, for your particular printer, what side do you print correctly?
With my printer I use the rear paper feed to print. I have the icing facing the front. Is that what you're asking?
@@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats Thank you very much.
What cutting setting do you use?
For the edible image papers I use the vinyl setting.
Hi I love your video. My cricut machine won’t cut that image
Awe! TY friend! If you need help with anything, let me know. I can try to help or point you in the right direction.
Can I use this paper to add a picture to a drink?
I’ve only used them on chocolate, royal icing and buttercream. I think you can use wafer paper on drink liquids. Not so sure about icing paper. You may be able to use them on paper straws.
Do you use different tools so it stays food safe ?
Absolutely! I have a separate blades and mats for the edible images and I use a different set for crafts.
@@CookingcinderellaSweetTreats Can you please tell me which blade are you using in you cricut ?
