...can anyone help or give me a contact? I want to make the cake myself but need the picture printed on edible paper/icing to put on top. It will be Minnie Mouse, so either someone can provide the pic or I can send one to be printed.
TIA

Lulus in Al Barsha will print up to A4 on wafer. Go to the cookies/cake counter and ask nicely - they will look blankly at you, but just repeat, asking nicely for a high quality print (they once tried to fob me off with a grainy, lined print saying it was the paper wot did it... er, no... ) and remind them that it costs 18.75. The assistant will then shuffle off rather grudgingly and do it. You can obviously get anything you want printed, so if you wanted cupcake toppers, just do the right sized circles on an A4 page on the computer, print it out and take it to them. Try and get the best quality print as possible your end, because their machine is essentially a scanner/printer so the colours won't be quite as bright and the picture will be slightly fuzzier. Can anyone else recommend a bakery that they have used for this? Just been to Lulus n their quality is nasty. Maybe they are running out of ink or something but the only way they could get a decent color was to overprint which caused blurryness. I need to get an image printed by tomorrow. Thanks.

Good idea to go with the edible paper. If you asked a baker to make a Mickey/Minnie cake you might end up with one of these: http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2010/4/19/taking-the-mickey-out-of-em.html It's my favourite blog, feel free to browse around and laugh your butt off! "A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places." I can waste ages looking on that site! I DO waste ages looking at that site, Especially the Sunday Sweets; Some people are just so talented!

Thanks all and sorry for late reply! HAK Lulu's sounds great I will persevere despite blank looks :) Just to clarify, I take the pic printed out exactly as I want it, and they basically scan it and print it again but edible... the same size right?

Kitsch do cupcakes with pictures on top if you want them so it might be worth asking if they do large prints as well and whether you could just buy the picture rather than a whole cake?

Any Spinneys with a bakery- the one near the springs/ meadows - the corner near that new main road through the springs is nearest to emirates hills.
