Design Types
You simply upload your image; you do not need to choose a design type. Our team decides how to use it, depending on your order and the notes you add. These are the two ways we typically use an uploaded image:
Reference Design
Our decorators use your image as inspiration and create a similar design by hand.
- Best for: General cake ideas and themes
- Our decorators will interpret and adapt the design
- Final result may vary from the reference
Edible Print
If your order includes an edible print, your image is printed on edible paper and placed directly on the cake.
- Best for: Photos, logos, and exact designs
- The image is reproduced as uploaded
- Requires high-quality, clear images
Tips and Best Practices
For Best Results:
- Use high-quality images: Clear, high-resolution images ensure the best cake decoration quality
- Avoid dark backgrounds: Light or transparent backgrounds work better for edible prints
- Check image orientation: Make sure your image is rotated correctly before uploading
- Simple is better: Complex designs may be simplified during decoration
- Provide clear instructions: Use the special instructions field to explain specific details
