I am making a cake for my niece's graduation party this weekend. I ordered funky letters and numbers, just pulled them out to use and I am missing part of the letters and numbers. I am so mad that I didn't check them over when
I recieved them. 
Does anyone have any ideas for me to make letters or numbers? We have a few craft stores, but the only thing I have found is the ones from Wilton and they are so small. Any suggestions would be appriecated. Thanks
You could find a font you like and print out your saying then place a piece of wax paper over the print out and use royal icing to trace.
How much drying time do you have?
I agree with herekittykitty. But if you don't have much drying time, I often use the candy melts. It sets in minutes and I personally find that they are less fragile than royal.
Good Luck.
Love the candy melts too - so easy! If you decide to go that route.... Once you pipe your letters, let them set at room temp. It takes longer, but just do your tracing on wax/parchment on a cookie sheet. Once done, set aside somewhere safe until dry. If you set them in the fridge, they tend to curl up at the ends a bit and don't sit right on your cake. Before you use them, you can certainly put them into the fridge for easier handling. HTH!
The great thing about candy melts is that they are a lot more forgiving that regular chocolate! I like to put candy melts directly into a piping bag and microwave at 30 second intervals - if I'm melting white ones I usually microwave at 50% power, otherwise I use full power.
Candymelts/chocolate... 
I have only ever used RI.
I love these websites, all the fonts are free.

There is another one that specializes in famous fonts but have lost the link or it was taken down, not sure which. 
HTH.
