i am doing a cake for this weekend. it is going to be the front page of a newspaper with an edible image on it also. i am trying to figure out the best way to get all of the lettering onto the buttercream cake.
i was thinking of doing the larger letters in royal icing, letting them dry, and then placing them on the cake. then the rest i would have to pipe freehand.
anyway, my question is, do you think a FBCT would be a better solution? i have never done one but have been reading up on them. i'm not really sure if the FBCT would work on something like this - with all of the separation space between letters.
on the examples i've seen on this site, a 'coloring book' type of image is used and every shape is filled in with one color or another.
would i just pipe the lettering and then fill in all around with the background color?
thanks in advance for any help 
When i have to do small lettering on a cake, i roll out a piece of fondant and write on that with edible marker and place the slab of fondant on the cake. I don't know how it will work for what you are doing...a newspaper.
