Just when you thought cakes and cupcakes couldn’t get any better, here come the happy and fun-loving folks over at Icing Images.

Simply send them your digital photograph and they send you back edible icing! Lickety split!

Your tasty photo icing arrives as sheets of sugar on paper backing, sealed in a plastic bag. You can slide it onto cakes, cookies, or cupcakes right away; or store it for up to 6 months. Instructions are included, and sizes range from 11×17 to 2.5” round so you have plenty of options.

Photo cupcakes are our new favorite thing. Read on to see how we made ours…

This dude named Karl has come up with a super-simple process that lets anyone, even beginners, turn photographs of people into beautiful illustrations (for posters, prints, or whatever.)

Julian Opie’s portraiture style is unmistakable, so it’s unlikely you can fool anyone into believing you thought this one up yourself. We suggest you just admit that you copied the idea from us here at PhotoJojo, who in turn copied it from Karl, who was inspired by Julian Opie to make his own copy. Whew! How’s that for post-modern?
