I need to make a monogram for a 6" round cake. I have yet to make one (it is the first initial of the bride, groom and the new last name--three letters together intertwined). I have read Martha Stewart's newest wedding cake book and she shows how to do a monogram with RI, which looks fairly simple. But the one in her book the monogram goes on a square cake. The cake I am doing is for a round cake. How do I make the curve for the monogram to fit onto the round cake? I hope this makes sense...Any tips or ideas? I would highly appreciate it!
Thank you very much ~
i've never tried this before, but i did bookmark this because i thought it was a neat tutorial:

Thank you, Metria. That looks like a graat idea and maybe I will try sometime.
My main thing I need to do is get the curvature for a round cake, so when I pipe the RI, or even candy melts, onto a pattern, I need it to be curved, then when I transfer it, it will be okay for the cake. Hoping for no breaking, of course! I am sure I will make several just in case.
I guess I can tape the pattern onto a bowl? Then cover with plastic or wax paper, then transfer after it has dried? Has anybody done this?
Thank you!!

A couple of years ago, I bought drum buckets in different sizes intending to cut them in half vertically so that I would have curves that matched most cake rounds for just this type of purpose. I then moved, a couple of times, and finally gave the uncut buckets to my dad for whatever use, but I still think it's a good idea. I got them at a hardware store and they cost a fraction of what a dummy cake would cost AND you'd have more surface area... might just have to get me some new buckets in the near future.
