A bride wants Happily Ever After written on the tiers of her cake. I searched the galleries for examples of wedding cakes with writing on the tiers but couldn't find any. Does anyone have a link to some?
Also -- a concern I have is that Happily is the longest of the words and it would go on the top tier, and the shorter words would be on the larger tiers. Maybe I could write the whole phrase on each tier, progressively larger, but that would be a lot of words on the small (6") top tier.
Any advice? Thanks!!

I'm just going to bump you since I too would like to know how this is done.

this is one of my fav cakes with writing onthe sides :http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=52436

holy cow sorry!

Martha Stewart has had a couple of cakes in her Martha Stewart wedding magazine that have writing on the sides, and Wilton has one in one of their cake books, I'm not home right now or I would look them up for you,(I have the books). You might be able to find them on the internet.
It is a technique that can be very classy, if it's done correctly.

Here's a cake I made with writing on the sides. Not for a wedding though, and not nearly as gorgeous as the one crystalina1977 posted.

those are all so pretty! how are the words done? are they royal icing and added or piped directly on the cake???? They just look so perfect! LOVE LOVE LOVE this look!!

Here are a few

I used one of the templates that Doug's made and then in my Freehand program used different font sizes to see how it would look and how to space it.

I'd suggest using Sugar Veil instead of RI. Sugar Veil will form to you curved surface and look shiny and smooth.

HTH

Here's two I did. The pink/brown one was freehand (which I should have done much smaller, in retrospect!) , the pink/green one was using stencils...

I did this one. It's not a wedding cake, but it does have writing.

I found a font I liked, then printed it in the size in the size I needed. Then I used the pin-prick method to transfer it to the cake.

homemaluhia...what is sugar veil?

Antonia, did you use edible marker on those cakes?

I have sugar veil also and I really love it - I just have problems using all of it and I feel like I waste so much - but it really is just about the COOLEST thing ever!

I was just wondering how everyone else does the writing.

btw - you DON'T have to have the "air pen" to use sugar veil - you can use just a regular piping bag and regular tips.

There's one in my pics, red and white. I lightly freehanded with a toothpick where I wanted to "write" and piped that with IMBC, but I'd use royal as an option. They loved it--it was a line from a song he'd written for her.

I've seen a cake with "happily ever after" on it, and it looked fine. Can't remember, but maybe pipe the Happily smaller, then increase the font size as you get to the larger tiers?

I have always wanted to do a cake with writing on the side. They are so so pretty but my writing is terrible.

I am going to check out the sugar veil product!!! I thought it was kindof expensive though???

I usually get the 1lb packet and it makes a lot! I just wish someone would post about how to keep the "left overs" for reuse. It really has made my life MUCH easier!
