Hi all! I am buying a plane square cake from the asda in about 3 weeks time for someones birthday but she want's a celebrity on the front. I need someone who can print me a photo onto the cake ( the asda won't do it me as it is copyrite) i don't want to pay loads as i can't really afford to at short notice ( her bf's only just told me lol) if you or know anyone who can do this for about the 7th-8th september i would gladly appreciate it! thanx x

I think Cooplands do it, but perhaps not if you don't have their cake x

You will have the same problems most places because of the copyrighting laws if its a professional pictures.

I don't think most place will do it with the copy right problem. It's not something you can do yourself either really

That one is half the price.

They use the exact same thing at the Asda. It's just rice paper.
