Next week, I am doing a 3-tier 80th birthday cake. The top tier is to have the names of children written on the side, the middle-names of grandchildren, bottom-names of great grandchildren. What is the best way to do all of these names? Your help is GREATLY appreciated!

print name on computer, mirror them dont forget!!! tape it to a cookie sheeet, and add color to your piping gel, trace them out, you can lay them also on a coffee can for a curved effect for round cakes.

then press onto cake, and pipe with color you need, or make them out of color flow and do same.

GOOD LUCK!

If you have good writing and want to do them right on the cake make sure you raise the cake to eye level. Makes all the difference in the world

Thank you all so much for your help and suggestions. It really turned out well. The suggestion to put the cake at eye level was a great one. I was suprised at how straight my writing was. I first covered a cake dummy with Glad Press & Seal to practice and that gave me confidence as well. I also used a parchment bag to pipe so I would have better control.

Thank you all again!
