When you want to change the size of the inspiration photo on one of my shared documents
OR when an inspiration photo has to be printed larger than an 8.5x11, it gets a little tricky when doing it from your home computer, so follow these directions:
First, click on the Google Doc link that I've provided. (Or insert your own photo into a new Google document). You'll need to have a google account to complete the next steps, so if you want to print from these google docs I add, it's a good idea to setup a google account.
Ok, after you click on the link and the photo has opened in the document, click "file" in the upper left hand corner.
A menu drops down... then click on "make a copy". A box pops up where you can give the file a name and designate which folder in your google drive you'd like to save it to. It should then automatically open up that copied document for you.
You should be able to edit that document, changing its size and such (you can only view the original that I posted.) To print out a very large photo, on that new document you'll have print it out in sections and then move the photo around (without changing it's size) and print out remaining sections. For example, in the eagle cake tutorial, I would print out the wing section you see first, and then start moving it to get to the other areas. In order to move it, you first need to click on the picture. A blue box should appear around it.
Then, click the "crop image" icon up in the tool bar. It will show you the full picture, and you can then drag it to a new section to print out.
Once you've dragged the photo and decided the next section to print, click the "crop image" icon again and then you can click on the printer icon in the tool bar to print out that section.
You should be able to continue to hit the crop button and move the picture around to each new section to print out until you've printed the entire photo...and then piece it together and attach with tape!
PME PREMIUM ROLLED FONDANT RED
HOT HANDS MODELING CHOCOLATE
SILVER POWDER, INEDIBLE
PME EDIBLE GLAZE SPRAY-400ML
TALL BIRTHDAY CANDLES SILVER
I torted 4, 6" round cake layers and added an extra torted layer as well for the fire hydrant cake (so that's a total of 9 torted layers which together were about 13" tall) plus a 6" round half sphere layer on top that was 2-3" tall....to create about a 15-16" tall cake in total!
I also torted 2 more 6" round cake layers for the small cake (so that's a total of 4 torted layers)
