Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Placing letters on cakes
I’m hoping that somebody can help me out with this one. I spend ages doing your lovely cakes and usually I’m very happy until the very end. 9 times out of ten I find when I place the letters “happy birthday” 0n the side I’m far from happy. Has anyone a fail safe method or better still an easy way for placing te greeting. Please anybody? Thank you
Patsy.

Hi Patsy
Have a peek here: http://cake-decorating.lovetoknow.com/fondant-letters
It’s a great little tutorial, I hope it helps you. 🙂
Where it is appropriate I find making a scroll out of sugarpaste and writing the greeting on that and then placing it on the cake a much easier option to measuring to place letters.
