Thanks so much for the info and the websites. I think all newbies like me are scared of printing on cakes.
Karolyn....another question, what size do you make your font? I am having trouble figuring out which one would look best. I don't wan the name to be over powering, but I don't want this little name that looks like an after thought. I'm sure its something I'll need to play with. But I am putting this on a 10" Round that is 4" high ![]()
On a 4" cake, (on the side) I usually do 100 or 150 for the size.
When you print preview in Word, you can see on the left and the top the ruler, it shows you how tall the font is.
I have printed it out before and it was too big so I adjusted it.
Thanks for all your help! I hope my cake looks half as nice as yours!!
If you use acetate instead of wax paper & print backwards you can just do it like an fbct - it will come off that way!
I LOVE the idea of using the caulking to make different designs to do impressions!!!!! I am SO going to use that - thanks!!!
Renaejrk, where do you get the acetate?
Thank you - Thank you Like so many my handwriting is not so good. I would use foudant to write on. thanks to you I can do this and I think on some of my cake it well work much better. can't you use the clear folders, sometime they are protecter sheets I know that's not spell right, but anyone know what I am tring to say! you would use these sheet in a three ring binder. I think they work to, I get them in office supplies area .
Boy there's a lot of great ideas here! Thanks for sharing! ![]()
You know it's funny, just today I bought a clip art book of 79 decorative alphabets -- now I have more than one way to use them! Thanks!! ![]()
So excited- have a couple cakes this weekend I can try this out on! Thank you
Your work is awesome, thanks for your tips. I want to be you when I grow up! PS. I'm ordering my sugarshack dvd this week.
i can get them onto my computer but i can't figure out how to access them while i am in WORD. any tips if you have the time?
thank you!

Diane, When pulling fonts off the web you need to watch where they get saved and then find your Fonts folder in your computer and move the new font file to your computer's Font folder.
Make sure you are closed out of any programs that you want to use the font in before you move the font and reopen when the font has been moved to the computer's font folder. Sometimes a restart of your computer is required also
Thank you,

Great tip. I usually just don't write on my cakes because I always think it looks horrible. Definately going to try this.
Has anyone thought of how to do this technique on fondant?
This technique it's old and it's used on fondant a lot.
