I am making 60 individual cakes for next weekend. The tops are to have a flat gold monogram.

I was thinking to trace them all in royal and then paint gold. Or would candy melts be better? What will hold up better? I want to do them ahead so they are all exactly alike. I plan to trace some initials I printed out on the computer.

candy melts would taste better and i think they'd hold up better too.

Hey there
In my pictures you'll find that I just recently did 60 cupcakes with monograms on each cup cake. I piped them in royal icing and then painted them in gold lustre (mixed with alcohol solution). They stood up to the day fine... Not sure if anyone ate them - I wasn't there at the wedding! they were 100% edible tho.

You might try color flow, too. It has a nice "pillowy" look and is real smooth.
