Wanna make your Valentine’s Day celebration even more special by declaring your love through food? Then get your creative juices in action with edible markers.

Yes, you heard that right!

What is an edible marker?

An edible marker looks exactly like a coloring pen but contains edible food ingredients that are safe to consume. Also, they are sugar-free. 

Edible markers are available in a variety of colors that can be used to decorate food with a dry and smooth surface. They are ideal for both fun and practice to use. 

Quality edible markers are designed with cutting edge techniques and filled with edible inks. They add a fun and creative element to food, particularly baked items. 

Edible markers are available in both standard tip and fine tip. 

1. The standard tip is broad enough to fill the inner area of a drawing. 

2. A fine tip marker is ideal for making line drawings, creating typographical fonts, and writing messages.

How To Use Edible Markers On Cakes?

Personalize a regular cake with your creative imagination using fondant sheet or cake toppers.

1. If you are using a fondant sheet, prepare the cake base, and cover it with fondant. Let the cake covered with fondant rest for 1 hour at room temperature. 

2. Then proceed to draw or write a personalized message for your valentine in your favorite color, with the edible marker.

3. If you are using fondant based cake toppers to add charm to your cake then, cut out the fondant in small and large heart shape. 

4. You can add color to the fondant if you want a more dramatic look. 

5. Let the fondant sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or 1 hour. 

6. After it has rested, draw, or write or add color with the edible markers. 

7. Add the beautifully decorated valentine themed toppers to your cake. 

8. You can also use modeling paste to make the cake toppers.

When Using Edible Markers To Write Or Draw:

1. Make sure the cake is at eye level, and you are sitting down.

2. Allow the fondant to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. To avoid smearing and splotches, let the surface dry before drawing using an edible marker.

3. Using it on a soft surface may not make the color come out smoothly and also damage the fondant.

4. Practice on scrap fondant pieces before you start writing on the cake or toppers.

5. When using different colors, let the first color set well before adding another, so they don’t mix.

6. Always buy the exact colors you want, so it doesn’t ruin your design.

7. You’ll know which markers are the best for you by experimenting and practice.

With edible markers, you can add vibrant and vivid edible colors to your cake.

To ensure that the edible pens work smoothly, always clean the tip with a damp paper towel after every use and keep the pen in a cool and dry place. 

What’s next?

Let your creative juices flowing, you now have the perfect way of combining your love for food and colors.
