• providing a reinforced edible film, comprising the steps of:
• providing an edible polymer film forming solution;
• providing a substrate constructed of a flexible sheet of food compatible material;
• placing a quantity of said edible polymer film forming solution onto said substrate;
• smoothing said edible polymer film forming solution to thereby provide a predetermined thickness of said edible polymer film forming solution with respect to said substrate;
• and
• drying said edible polymer film forming solution to thereupon provide a flexible sheet of reinforced edible film comprising a dried edible polymer film that is releasably adhered to said substrate;
• making an edible decoration of said edible polymer film, comprising at least one of:
• shaping said edible polymer film;
• and
• marking said edible polymer film;
• providing a foodstuff having an external surface, wherein said external surface has a preselected amount of moisture;
