Im doing a cake for my Gma's 60th B-day...Tomorrow!!!! And there is a lot of writing that has to be done... i live in a rural town and there is no place for me to go get food writing markers real quickly. Is there any other way to neatly write on a cake? HELP ME PLEASE 
Can you mark out what you want to write on the cake with a toothpick and then go over that with icing?
the thing is...im afraid the writing will get messy because there is so much and it is very small.. i want to do this cake ( which was orginally done by a lady on this site, her idea, not mine..to her credit 
)
I did buttercream transfers for a recent cake (no pics yet). Make sure your BC hasn't totally crusted though. I got on my computer and did whatever font and then traced with BC. It worked out really well. If it doesn't stick completly, they still make really great indentations so you can still trace right on the cake. If this doesn't make sense, just pm me.
1) write it on the computer, flip in in a graphic program or trace it over a light to get it in reverse, pipe in buttercream over taped on wax paper, freeze and flip onto cake.
2) write it on the computer program (MSWord,etc), flip, print it out and ice with royal icing and suitable round tip (#1,#2,#3,etc). Let dry. Press into icing to make pattern to follow when piping.
3) use alphabet cookie cutters to lightly imprint on the icing, and trace with piped icing.
Just some ideas....
4)
The writing is an edible image? I know the picture is... I have the picture of her...I didn't think the writing was though...but it's possible...i think i might try the bc tranfer idea...i just dont know how to do it.
