A[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/2945300/width/200/height/400[/IMG] I have just started out making cakes properly and would like to know how to make the cake toppers, like the embossed happy birthday in the bottom right corner but have no idea how. Can anyone help me with how to do it please

I would roll out fondant or gumpaste cut out the shape and use a rubber stamp that has the lettering or logo you want to use.  The dots on the border are probably made with a cutter/embossed wheel.

I meant cutter/embosser wheel.
