For writing long strings of words on a cake side?

I am thinking that royal would be best; what do you think?

AWhatever it is, it has to be stiff and fast-setting, unless you plan on tilting it up into position. I've written on the side of a naked pound cake (when it's baked in a Bundt mold, there's no top to write on!), and it was a royal pain in the butt, just getting "Happy 77th Birthday Daddy" onto the cake.

It might be a good idea to write your message in RI on a flat surface and transfer to the cake if you can? Writing on the side of the cake neatly I found to be really hard.

Thanks.

This is quite tricky - for a wedding cake with poetry written on the sides all around the tiers I got the words print on an edible transfer sheet and wrapped bands of this around the cakes.  Worked very well, with a hell of a lot less stress!

If it's covered in fondant, have you thought about hand-painting it?  My handwriting in RI is terribly sloppy. lol  If you find a nice typeface you can transfer the message to fondant easily.  I find a fine tipped brush to paint makes it easier to cover up boo-boos.

Best wishes.
