Personalization continues to be a powerful way for bakeries and food service businesses to make everyday desserts feel special. From birthdays and graduations to corporate events and seasonal celebrations, customers are looking for cakes and desserts created specifically for the occasion.
We recently wrote about ColorCanvas and creative edible decorating. Another option for businesses looking to expand their decorating capabilities is PhotoCake®, which this blog further discusses in order to help our customers brand their business in cutting edge ways!
What Is PhotoCake?
PhotoCake is a print-on-demand cake decorating system that allows bakeries to print customers’ photos, custom designs and available licensed or non-licensed images onto edible paper using edible ink. The finished Edible Image® can then be used to personalize cakes and other baked goods.
The PhotoCake IV system includes software, a touchscreen monitor and controller, an edible-paper printer, training and technical support. Built-in tools also allow decorators to customize images and add elements such as text or logos.
The PhotoCake Basics
The basic process is designed with busy bakery environments in mind. Decorators select the appropriate edible paper, choose or upload an image, crop or adjust the design as required, preview the finished topping and print it onto the edible media.
That relatively straightforward workflow can be especially valuable when your bakery is handling multiple customized orders every day.
Made for High-Volume Dessert Businesses
For grocery store bakeries, hotel chains, casinos, banquet halls, restaurant chains, artisanal bakeries and commercial bakery operations, PhotoCake can help turn personalization into a repeatable service rather than a time-consuming specialty request.
It can also expand what businesses offer. PhotoCake edible images aren’t limited to traditional celebration cakes; they can be incorporated into cupcakes, cookies, bars and other desserts.
Corporate logos, customer photos, special messages and occasion-specific designs can all help businesses create desserts with greater visual impact.
Expand Your Commercial Decorating Capabilities
Used alongside products such as ColorCanvas, PhotoCake gives professional bakeries even more ways to turn desserts into personalized experiences.
