Celebrating special occasions with photo cakes

Ever thought of edible photos? However outrageous the idea may sound, it is practically possible to have something like that now, that too on cakes. Photo cakes have become a possibility and are widely used during birthdays, anniversaries or other occasions like Valentine’s Day. The concept is pretty simple. A photograph is transformed into an edible image and is reproduced on the top of the cake to make it look like as if a photograph has been put on top of the cake and is ready to be eaten. Photo cakes not only look funny but are a great way to wish someone special.
The reason why photo cakes are a great way to wish someone special is because there are certain special moments which have their photographs but we often do not know what to do with them. Framing is a good idea but way too common so photo cakes are the uncommon and special way of using a photograph. True that the photograph too will be eaten along with the cake in a while, but the moment of gifting the cake is priceless and hence all special occasions go well with it and are the near perfect edible gift one can hope to give someone else.
Photo cakes do not need to be in any particular order in order to accommodate the photo on the cake. Be it a big square or a heart shaped cake, the photograph goes well mainly because it is the choice of the photograph that matters. For a birthday celebration, a good photograph of the birthday boy or girl will go well. Similarly, for an anniversary celebration, a special photo of the couple will be suitable on the cake. Thus once the photograph has been chosen, it is up to the confectionary to transform the image well on the cake.
There are various flavors one can choose from when it comes to picture cakes. Picture cakes do not come in any particular flavor, and whatever is a favorite with the birthday boy or girl can be chosen. Morphing of the images can be done with any flavor, though it is recommended to choose a flavor with light colors so that the picture is clear and transparent. So a photo on a vanilla cake will look clearer than a photo on a chocolate cake simply because of the contrasting colors of the two cakes.
One can order picture cakes online from any confectionary or bakery website by providing them with a picture and make the payment. These sites have various images of how a picture looks on a cake and customers can browse through those pictures before placing an order. These cakes can also be sent to the person whose birthday or anniversary is being celebrated as a gesture of happiness. This service comes in handy when relatives or friends are overseas or in a different city but would still like to send a cake with a picture on it as a gesture of being a part of the happiness.
