A cake decoration and a method of manufacture therefor

摘要

A cake decoration comprises sugar paste plaque (4) having a design applied to the plaque. It is enhanced by embossments to the design giving it a three-dimensional effect. An independent claim is also included for a method of manufacture for a cake decoration, comprising procuring a sheet of sugar paste; rolling the sheet of sugar paste material to an even thickness; cutting the sheet of material to delineate a blank; creating a design on an upper surface of the blank by screen printing or off-set printing; positioning the printed blank in register with an embossing tool; and bringing the embossing tool into engagement with the printed blank where profiled ridges of the embossing tool deform the blank about defined lines of the design to give the design a three-dimensional effect.
