How do photo cakes work?

We print your chosen photo onto edible icing paper using food-safe ink. The edible print is then placed on top of the cake and seamlessly blended with the design. The print is completely safe to eat and tasteless — it doesn't affect the flavour of the cake.

What photos work best on cakes?

High-resolution photos work best. Clear, well-lit images with good contrast produce the sharpest results. We can adjust brightness and cropping for you. Portrait-style photos work particularly well.

How much does a photo cake cost?

Photo cakes start from £70 for a 6-inch round cake with a single edible print. Larger sizes and multi-photo designs range from £90 to £200+. The photo print is included in the price.
