Hi All,
I bought this chocolate watch from Chapon in Paris. It's 7.5 euros and only 9g. It had a photo of Audrey Hepburn printed on it. Can anyone tell which technique they used to print image on chocolate? Transfer sheet or food printer?
I bought an edible printer from ebay and a pack of chocolate transfer sheets,but it doesn't work...I already wasted 4 sheets :( I also tried frosting sheets.. result is not good..

You will need a canon printer you can purchase all from deco but you might find if you buy the items seperately it may be cheaper.

Dave, you sound like you know a lot about it
do you need to have a special printer ?
do you have to temper the cocoa butter or will the printer do it?
how does it keep the cocoa butter at the tempered?
thanks
Laura

Hi mint,
I believe that they are using blister transfer technology.
Very common in Europe for printed shapes.
Alas, I don't think that we can make it in-house with inkjet printers and transfer sheets.
