laser engraving cookies

[tony mazzone]

I want to laser engrave a bunch of cookies for a shower gifts. My question is does the engraving affect the food itself. Is it safe to eat?

Thanks,

Tony

I'ts only charring..

I've eaten cookies after lasering them, and it doesn't even affect the flavor. If you use low power it's simply browning the sugar.

I swear you people are so creative!!!!! PLEASE share a picture when you finish them!!!!! I never met a cookie I didn't love but laser etched cookies....AWESOME!!!!

I lasered everything I could get my hands on when we took shipment of our epilog... The croissant that I engraved with Jesus' face tasted just fine.

I've made homemade sugar cookies and then engraved them. They tasted fine. I would recommend trying to make the cookies as flat as possible for lasering purposes. The picture isn't the greatest but here's a sample. I also engraved a flour tortilla shell. I didn't try eating that though, it smelled like burnt toast when I engraved it.

If you hit it too hard it tastes burned (because it is burned).

How about an icing fill? \*L*/

i don't want to copy other people, so I take their ideas and change them a little.
Since everyone else was talking about cookies, I had to try some other food.
So I can save you some trouble...
.. don't try it with butterscotch pudding. It just doesn't work.
You're welcome.

You need a YAG for pudding....................just kidding

Hey Chuck;
Butterscotch pudding can be lasered if:
1.You use the Jello brand made in their factory in Alexandria, Egypt
2. Make it a week before lasering
3. Chill it to 41 degrees F in a titanium bowl
4. Laser at 2 watts power-medium speed -from the bottom up
Now, chocolate pudding-thats a different story..........

I've found CNC to be more appropriate for the pudding family in general...

It's a little while back but I just had to try it. :D

nb. The GHD hair straighteners cook these little morsels to perfection (don't tell the wife, whose hair is now just slightly bacon scented).

I've found for the best finish it is best to spray them with ceramark first...:)

Anyone else think this is hot? :p

We make fondant stamps which can be used on raw cookies/biscuits before baking. Just use clear 5mm acrylic. Just personalise them with a name.

What about candles? Did bread cut "Eat me on it" out of it tasted burnt.

you can go to you tube and type in pumpkin laser engraver, seems like a neat idea, I think next year I will take one of those really cool patterns that would take hours to carve by hand and see if the laser can do it a lot faster. If it does, just one more way technology is making me SO lazy...:)
