I need to cut out a number 9 from marzipan/fondant.
I need it to be rather large approximately 5"X5".
I've tried round lids and other objects...what I really want is to print out a 9 in a super huge font and print it out, and then trace it--but the largest I seem to be able to get is 72 and that is too small.

even tho' the preset list of font sizes only goes up to 72...on most software you can type the desired size (like 120 ro 240 or 360) in the little window that tells the font size to get bigger ones.

just highlight the number that is showing, type in the new number and hit enter.

If you cant get it to go higher, print what you can then head to your nearest office store and enlarge it on thier copier.

Yes, the drop-down menu only goes so far but you can type in whatever size you like.
