Application of photographic images to chocolate uses food colouring and edible supporting layer

摘要

The procedure for applying photographic images, designs and text to articles made from chocolate consists of printing the images on a layer of marzipan, white chocolate or other edible surface with the aid of a printer employing edible colourings, and then placing the printed layer on the chocolate base. The image, transferred to the printer by a scanner or digital camera, can also be printed directly onto a chocolate or marzipan base, in which case no subsequent assembly is necessary.
