if it's crusting bc

 

you could print off your words

 

lay it on there

 

then pin prick it onto the buttercream and pipe over

 

would that work for you?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

oh sure

 

trace with chocolate on top of print covered with waxed paper or plastic wrap--

 

oh sure that would work great

 

just be careful picking them up

 

but even if they break you can piece them together

 

but that's kinda a lot of expertise

 

to get that all melted the way you want

 

probably would work

 

if you're good with choco

 

~~~~~~~

got any markers you can just write it on fondant???

 

but if fondant is soft you gotta have a soft hand or it pokes into it

can you print a mirror image on your computer??

 

or

 

i know

 

print regular words on your computer the way you want

 

turn that printed page over

 

outline with black marker

 

do a frozen buttercream transfer onto the black marker side

 

so when you flip it over it reads correctly

 

after tracing letters

 

and covering w/icing

 

build up the top a bit

 

so when you flip it over onto the cake

 

it stands up a bit, beveled up for easy reading

 

you could border that all around with a border

 

or

 

pipe drop flowers all around it or use plain

 

maybe

sling the marker like you're winding up to pitch a baseball

 

or just snap your wrist a few times

 

keep the lid on in case it just happens to work real good icon_biggrin.gif

 

wet the tip of the marker

 

should get it flowing for you

i generally trim the sides of my cakes before icing

 

if the cake is overbaked a bit i trim them immediately so the crusty edge does not get a chance to deplete any more moisture out of the middle

 

and i use simple syrup on my cakes too

no not soggy -- it's just adding a touch

 

as much as you might add if you brushed it on

 

i add a flavors to the ss

 

liqueurs or other flavors

 

the extra flavor and moisture is just a nice addition to me 

 

the easy part to me of trimming a cake is that you are following the outline of the pan that's already there

 

cut one freehand out of a sheet cake? no--

 

trim one? sure! i do anyhow
