I have a 14" cake to do with a logo on top, lettering on the sides (I posted about this already, asking about help with lettering on sides)... I want to keep the logo and side type looking somewhat consistent, since the cake will be busy with wafer paper leaves all over it.
I was considering doing the logo with run-in (it's pretty simple)... has anyone done run-in letters before? Would it work print out letters the size I need, trace/fill them and then move them to the cake sides? It's a soft frosting (cream cheese)... how would you make sure they stick? Would they be pliable enough to mold a bit to the curvature of the cake sides?
Anyone with any experience with this? I'd appreciate the help!!

I tried to do run-in royal icing letters as a monogram for a wedding cake, but completely neglected to allow them to dry on the curve of the cake pan. ![]()
My advise is make it a lot easier and cut them from gumpaste instead. This is what happened when I stuck them to the cake's fondant. The letters are straight, the cake is curved!!! :
I do a lot of lettering with color flow (similar to run-out/ floodwork). Works great printing out what size and font you want from your computer.
Below is a pic of a cake with letters both on the sides and top of the cake. The letters on the top have a "tab" on the bottom so that they stick into the top of the cake.
Hope this helps.
