Need Help Curving A Word Writing On A Round Cake, Please
Decorating By projectqueen Updated 10 Dec 2006 , 12:49pm by Doug
I usually use the pin prick method to write on my cakes since my freehand is awful.
I often end up having to curve the writing on a round cake. For example, if I have a transfer in the middle, I would want to write above it and below it following the shape of the round cake.
I have been using word art to try to get the letters to curve and space properly, but I need to write Congratulations at the top and I'm pulling my hair out. I can't get it round enough with word art. It's more of a gentle arch. That means I have to pull it down too close to the center of the cake to make it fit and still have room for a border.
Does anyone have suggestions how to print out writing in a circle shape? I hope this makes sense (because as I read it, it sounds very confusing). 
Thanks. I'm working on it now.
Cut out your letters (squares) and tape them to a piece of paper that is the size that you need.
Before you tape the letters, fold the circle in half to give a center line. Tape the middle letter on the fold and then space the others on each side from that. This should give you evenly spaced and centered letters.
