Printed Cakes: The Sweetest Way to Make a Statement

Printed Cakes: The Sweetest Way to Make a Statement

At Coniston Bakery, we’re all about helping you celebrate in style—and nothing says “personal” quite like a printed cake. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or just a cheeky inside joke between friends, a printed cake turns dessert into a moment worth remembering.

What Are Printed Cakes?

Printed cakes are custom cakes that feature edible images on top. Using food-safe technology, we print high-resolution photos, logos, characters, or designs directly onto a layer of icing or fondant using edible ink. The result? A completely personalised cake that looks as good as it tastes.

Why Are Edible Prints On A Cake So Cool?

Printed cakes are showstoppers. They combine creativity, meaning, and flavour into one incredible centrepiece. Want your child’s favourite superhero on their cake? Easy. Need your company logo on cupcakes for a staff celebration? Done. Want to surprise your best mate with a hilarious throwback photo from 1998? You got it. Printed cakes let you tell a story—your story—right on the cake.

Perfect for Every Occasion
Printed cakes are popular for all sorts of events, including:

Birthdays – Kids and adults love seeing their faces or favourite characters on a cake.

Weddings and anniversaries – Add a photo from your first date or wedding day.

Baby showers and gender reveals – A sonogram or pastel design is always a hit.

Graduations – Celebrate your graduate with their school photo or degree logo.

Corporate events – Branded cakes for product launches, office parties or team wins.

Retirement parties, farewells, or even apologies – Yep, we’ve printed “I’m sorry” cakes before!

Why Should You Order a Printed Cake?

Because it’s not just cake—it’s a conversation starter, a memory maker, and a way to connect. Printed cakes make your event more personal and meaningful. Plus, they save you from the struggle of choosing a theme. You already know what to put on it—the face, photo, or logo that matters most to you.
