Edible Image Cakes Melbourne

You have already picked the picture. A photo of the birthday girl, her favourite character, or a logo for the office party. At The Cake People, getting that image onto an edible image cake in Melbourne is one of our most-loved jobs, with everything printed in-house on cakes that are 100% plant-based.

The picture and the cake come out of one Keilor Park kitchen, nothing is outsourced. Order online and we will deliver across Melbourne, or have your cake ready for click & collect.

How we turn your photo into an edible image cake

Turning your photo into a cake is incredibly simple. When ordering through our website, you upload your own high-resolution photo or you can choose a popular character theme, and add your personalised name and age.

We print your image using high-quality, food-safe edible inks directly onto a premium icing sheet right inside our kitchen. Our lead decorator, Joanne, then finishes and places the design onto your cake by hand.

Because all of our printing happens in-house and is never sent out to a third party, we have complete quality control and can often turn a printed cake around incredibly fast, sometimes in just two days.

Edible image cakes for every occasion

Our themed edible image cakes come in two finishes, with a 3D option alongside:

• Naked cake finish with white buttercream – themed edible image cakes at $65
• Fully covered colour version – $98
• 3D character cakes with printed cutout elements

The naked finish shows off the layers beneath a crisp print, while the fully covered version carries your colours over the whole cake. Upload-your-own-photo designs are priced on the product page. Pick what suits, upload your image, and we’ll make it magical.

What you can put on your cake

An edible image is the unsung hero behind many of our most spectacular designs. It allows us to achieve pixel-perfect accuracy where hand-piping alone wouldn't do the image justice.

• Personal Photos: A treasured family shot, a favourite picture of the family dog, or a beautiful memory worth celebrating.
• Trending Characters: The exact cartoon, movie, or gaming character your child is currently obsessed with.
• Corporate Logos: Crisp, true-to-colour brand logos perfect for product launches, company milestones, and staff morning teas.

An edible image also finishes many of our signature celebration cakes, and however you order, we handle cake delivery across Melbourne or you can collect from our Keilor Park kitchen.

A sharp print, on a cake that wins its category

A photo cake is only as good as two things: the sharpness of the print, and the quality of the cake sitting beneath it. We use premium edible inks that hold vibrant colour and fine detail, ensuring faces actually look like faces and corporate logos stay perfectly crisp.

The cake underneath is crafted from the exact same recipes we put up in competition. Judged directly against conventional egg-and-butter bakeries in the open Gateau category at the Victorian Baking Show, our 100% plant-based creations have proudly brought home medals for three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026).

Since our humble beginnings in 2014, and over 8,000 successful orders later, Joanne and Stephen still hold every bake to that elite standard.
