Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PYO paint palette?

It is a set of edible colour swatches printed on an icing sheet. A wet brush lifts the colour like a watercolour set, so children and customers can paint a paint-your-own (PYO) cookie, then eat the whole thing.

Is the PYO palette maker free?

Designing palettes and downloading the 300 DPI print sheet are included with a CakeyTops membership, which starts with a 3-day free trial. Beyond that you only pay for your own icing sheets and edible ink.

How do I print the palettes?

Print the downloaded sheet on an edible printer loaded with an icing sheet or wafer paper, at 100% scale (never fit-to-page). Let it dry for ten minutes, then cut along the printed outlines.

Why do my PYO colours paint too pale?

PYO painting is watercolouring, so light swatches hold little pigment and vanish on white icing. Use deep, saturated colours — the palette maker flags any colour that will paint too pale and can deepen it in one click.

Are the palettes edible?

Yes, when printed with edible ink on edible icing sheets or wafer paper the whole palette is edible, including the base. Use a food-safe printer dedicated to edible ink.
