Having just retired from a lifetime in the print trade, I'd suggest no
coloured ink or glossy paper. There are special vegetable based inks for use
in the food trade.

Oh nice to see a fellow printer

I was going to suggest the same, also varnished paper might be a
problem breaking down I assume?
Think coloured board (not printed colour) might be okay.



The edible inks for printing onto icing are very much more 'runny' than
ordinary inks
