A method for applying a color image to a non-planar comestible may include
applying a color image onto a substantially planar carrier and deforming
the carrier to form a non-planar relief mold of a three-dimensional
image, including deforming the color image whereby the deformed color
image is proportionate relative to, i.e., is in register with, the
three-dimensional image. A comestible material, e.g., chocolate, may be
deposited into the relief mold to substantially overlie the color image.
The comestible material may be removed from the relief mold, with the
color image applied thereto. In one implementation, the color image may
be applied to the substantially planar carrier by screen printing one or
more colors forming the color image onto the carrier using an edible ink
composition.
