Object of My Confection

Kopykake Cakes

Like the Starbucks gingerbread latte (yum) and the Pepsi Holiday Spice drink (ew), your current beau may be just a flavor of the month.

That means this season you’ll search for a touching yet temporary present. You don’t want to leave him with a bittersweet memento once you peace out.

Because food never lasts long around him anyway, decorate a Kopykake dessert and let him chow down. Type a message or upload his favorite image (your picture, of course) to your computer screen. Then, using a Canon printer and Kopycake’s edible ink, emboss the frosting sheets with your selection. Just press the printed page on top of a cake and let the design soak in. The heart and circle shapes are perfect for cupcakes; the rectangles come in quarter-sheet, half-sheet, or business-card sizes. All come in 24-sheet packages, so you can save the extras for future boyfriends.

Of course, if this one shares his sweets, you might consider keeping him around.

Just for a little icing on the cake.
