This is a pic of my practice cake and favor bag for my sister's shower. It was extremely easy but it took a lot of time. I stamped paint prints onto the fondant using the classic inks and then I dyed the green fondant with the old olive pad by stamping the rolled out fondant a couple of times. I'll be taking some of the things off of the bag (thanks to the helpful advice I received) and the final cake will be a lot bigger, but I had to make sure that I was able to do it!

The ink is non-toxic, but I'm not sure if I would eat it. Although, we found out at convention that Shelli licks her stamps sometimes to clean them, so who knows?
I think you could get a similar effect by stamping with a gel food coloring.

This is completely EDIBLE.....the stamp pads are NON-TOXIC and I CLEANED the stamps before I used them. My first demo is the one that told me about this and she said that she had done it before.

Beautiful cake! I just wanted to say that I know people tell you not to use the same stamps on food and to buy certain things when decorating cake/cookies but the ink is non-toxic and you are only eating a small amount anyway. I would worry more about the sugar intake than the ink intake!!!! :0)

This is so cute! I did this once a couple of years ago and it worked out really well. Everyone at our party ate the icing with no ill effects. Like SweetHeidiJo said, I'd be much more worried about eating all that sugar than eating a tiny bit of non-toxic ink. Be sure and post pics when you make your big cake. I'd love to see them! ~Thanks for sharing~
