A method of decorating the surface of foodstuffs with photos or images using edible media including the steps of preparing a silk screen with predetermined shapes. The predetermined patterns having opening therein that are in a size and shape that is dictated by the size and shape of the foodstuffs. The thus prepared silk screen is placed in a silk screen apparatus. A substrate or backing is prepared having a coating that is approved for receiving foodstuff thereon. The substrate is placed under the prepared silk screen in a frame. A batter is laid over the silk screen by a flexible blade. A second flexible blade is used that will push the batter through the openings in the silk screen and deposit the batter according to the predetermined pattern in the screen. The batter patterns on the backing are air cured to a semi-dry, flexible state. These are now edible media upon which can be imprinted images by stamping, drawing, screen printing or passing through an inkjet printer or copier. The edible media with image is then removed from the substrate and applied to the foodstuff having the same dimensions and shape as the foodstuff without any further manipulations such as sizing and cutting.
