My Mom decorates cakes and I've been to a few cake shows with her and this is what I've learned about stamping on icing.
1) it can be done.
2) you should not use stamps that have been used with craft ink. You should have separate stamps for food vs crafts (of course, you could try to clean the stamps very well before you use them on cakes (or cookies), but I would only do this if only my family were the only ones going to eat it. I'd be too afraid someone else would get sick if I was going to serve it to anyone else besides family, so I'd use a food-only stamp set in that case.)
3) you can use either food coloring or the special "ink" or paints they have for cakes/cookies but between the two, the special "ink" or paints look better, but you can still color with food coloring or icing.
