I had seen the transfer sheets, but I was looking for purple tulips - which isn't easy to find! I'll look up the glitter - thanks again! Thank you!

Will you be doing examples of each of those things on the list? I'd love to see one for the chocolate, ribbon, and leaves. Thanks for everything you do! I’m so glad I found this post!

There are a couple of ways to go about it. If it's a white chocolate, you can stamp with gel food coloring in any color. If it's a milk or dark chocolate, there's a 2-step process that involves stamping with a clear gel food coloring (or glycerine) and then sprinkling powdered food-grade glitter on top. Stamping color directly to milk chocolate doesn't really work because most of the colors aren't concentrated enough to show up on dark backgrounds. I've also heard you can mix melted cocoa butter with food coloring and stamp with that mixture. I've tried it and it doesn't leave a clear impression at all. Some of the fancy graphic chocolates are screen printed or done with transfer sheets (an edible graphic is screened onto a flexible plastic sheet and then lightly pressed onto the chocolate).

With like the gel food coloring? Just wondering, because I saw on Martha Stewart this really neat graphically printed chocolate bark, and it was so cool - would stamping be a possibility for DIYing it?

Very cool -- and cheap way to make boring napkins pretty. Love the idea of stamping on napkins. Very cool — and cheap way to make boring napkins pretty.
