Wow. Of all the categories, I couldn't find one for stamped FOOD. A few weeks ago I uploaded a criss-cross card for my niece's baby shower. Then I was elected to make the cake for said shower. This is the end result. Here is the link to the invitation:
I stamped Sleepy Head from the Itty Bitty stamp series from Stampabilities and watercolored him. You have to make your colors pretty dark for this procedure. I scanned him to my photo shop, enlarged him a little and printed it. Scanned again and enlarged, until I could print it without the pixils from the enlarging process showing. I guess I scanned, enlarged and printed about 5 times, until I could print him on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Darkened him a bit about the third scan. Finally, once I got him just about perfect and could go no larger, I took him to the bakery at the supermarket. Here in our area, HEB does these copies on edible, sugary type stuff with edible ink. Then it can be placed on the cake and trimmed around the edges. I think it turned out rather well. Hope somebody sees it. Wish there was a gallery for stamped food.
