An apparatus and method for decorating an edible food without substantially deforming
the edible food. A container delivers a liquid decorating substance to an elongated,
soft, flexible nib. When placed in contact with a surface of the edible food and
moved relative to the edible food, the nib readily laterally flexes when pressure
is exerted on the surface by the nib so that the nib does not substantially deform
the edible food even when the edible food is soft.
