1. A process of producing printed decorations, comprising: providing a gumpaste mixture;sheeting the mixture to one or more predetermined thicknesses;creating a plurality of blanks from the mixture;manually arranging the plurality of blanks onto a platen of a printer;scanning, by the printer, the platen for an orientation of each blank on the platen;causing automatic adjustment, responsive to the scanning, of at least one of an orientation of the platen and a height of a printhead of the printer;automatically printing a pattern on the plurality of blanks with the printer;after the printing, manually removing the plurality of blanks from the platen; andshaping each blank of the plurality of blanks into a shape of a decoration. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein the shaping includes adding additional elements to each of the plurality of blanks to create the decoration. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein manually arranging the plurality of blanks onto a platen of a printer comprises: manually arranging each blank of the plurality of blanks onto a removable carrier having one or more visual markers; andloading the removable carrier onto the platen of the printer. 4. The process according to claim 3, wherein the removable carrier is an aluminum tray. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein the shape of the decoration is a bow. 6. The process according to claim 5, wherein the shaping includes: bunching up each end of the blank;wrapping each end of the blank around a cylindrical object; andwrapping a ribbon around a center of the blank. 7. The process according to claim 1, wherein the printing includes printing an augmented reality marker on at least one of the plurality of blanks. 8. The process according to claim 1, wherein the gumpaste mixture includes about 50% by weight to about 60% powder sugar, about 25% to about 35% tapioca flour, about 4.5% to about 6.0% palm kernel flakes, about 3.5% to about 5.0% water, about 0% to about 0.5% potassium sorbate, and about 0% to about 0.5% edible ink. 9. The process according to claim 1, wherein the printer rides on a rail system to articulate over the platen. 10. The process according to claim 1, wherein the platen is articulated on a rail system with respect to the printer. 11. The process according to claim 1, wherein the printer performs laser-guided scanning. 12. The process according to claim 1, wherein the scanning, and the causing automatic adjustment occurs during the printing. 13. A method of producing printed decorations, comprising: providing a gumpaste mixture;sheeting the mixture to one or more predetermined thicknesses;creating a plurality of blanks from the mixture;arranging each blank of the plurality of blanks onto one or more visual markers on a platen of a printer configured to print with edible ink;scanning, by the printer, the plurality of blanks for correct positioning upon the one or more visual markers;responsive to the scanning, causing automatic adjustment of an orientation of at least one of the platen and a printhead of the printer;automatically printing a pattern on the plurality of blanks with the printer;after the printing, removing the plurality of blanks from the platen; and,shaping each blank of the plurality of blanks into a shape of a decoration. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein sheeting the mixture comprises passing the gumpaste mixture through a sheeting machine to obtain the one or more predetermined thicknesses. 15. The method according to claim 13, wherein the one or more visual markers are created on a tray with edible markings defining placement positions for each of the plurality of blanks. 16. The method according to claim 13, wherein creating the plurality of blanks comprises cutting the plurality of blanks using a cutting machine. 17. The method according to claim 13, further comprising drying the shaped decoration in an oven. 18. The method according to claim 17, wherein a drying temperature is between 65 to 70 degrees Celsius. 19. The method according to claim 13, wherein the printed decoration is a marker configured to initiate an augmented reality experience. 20. The method according to claim 13, wherein causing automatic adjustment of the orientation of at least one of the platen and the printhead comprises causing simultaneous adjustment of the platen and the printhead.
