I did this out of chocolate candy melts. Here is a pic. I just melted the chocolate and piped it onto waxed paper. I piped a base, about an inch tall, onto the letters so I would be able to stick it into the cake and have it stand up. You could do exactly the same technique using royal icing.
I use Patchwork cutters or I cut a piece of fondant stamp it with a rubber stamp and place it on the cake and just pipe a little border around it. After that I luster dust it or paint it. I think Cakes By Sam has some examples on her site.
If you look in the Birthday Gallery there is a cake called "Winter Wonderland". I would try to attach it but I am clueless about doing that.

It's all a viscious rumor...... 
If you want any instructions for anything on my cakes, just let me know.... 
Adven68,

I am doing the stand up phrases this weekend for a bridal shower. I don't plan to place them on the cake but I want them scattered around on the cake table.
I happened to find the thread for this specific question...hope it helps you..
