Hello pduffy

In his camera cake tutorial, Paul hand paints the little details as seen here:

Camera

Alternatively, if you have an edible ink printer you could down load the images, cut them out and stick them on. If not, you could pipe the letters in royal icing over the image using the smallest writer nozzle. Let the tiny letters dry completely and very gently stick them on with a little edible glue. Make extras because they do break quickly when handled.
A size 0 nozzle would be good like this: http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-fine-writer-piping-nozzle-0.html
.. or even finer 00

Hope this helps.
ps you could also use melted white chocolate or sugarpaste thinned down with water to make royal icing.
