Hello all, I'm new here. Just got my Santha and Champion. Will make my first batch this weekend. What is the process for printing on chocolate? Like in this picture? www.mariebelle.com/I have seen some companies that can print onto white chocolate, but it isnt what I am looking for. I really want to be able to print onto dark and milk chocolate sort of how mariebelle does it but in my own way of course. Can you point me towards a machine or process? Thanks wabbit

It looks to me like they use chocolate transfer sheets. Just Google it and you should find quite a few websites that sell them. I haven't used them yet but would like to, I think they look very cool. Just need to nail down a good recipe before I delve into that area. Good luck and Welcome! ;D Andrea

Yes you can print on chocolate. A colleague of mine has an actual "chocolate printer". Visit www.chocolart.caEssentially, the printer is a modified plotter with edible inks in the cartridges. It first lays down a very thin layer of white chocolate (MUST have a white base), and then prints over top. You could actually put family photos right on chocolate! REALLY COOL!!

Would love to hear personal experience wiht this equipment. i've seen other similiar things that essentially use edible ink on a sugar based edible film, the results of which are ok, but not quite the level of transfer sheets. colors are dulled and don't seem to pop. if y'all have hands on experience with this, would love to hear what you think...

thanks for the help.
Transfer sheets are what I am looking for. I have found some sources on the web.
Do you know of any source in NYC? I am sure there is one.
