And then, I slowly lifted them and arranged them on the name plaque which was still on the cake dummy. Once all the letters were completed, I left them aside to set a little. Where there are joints or connections, I used fondant glue to secure them. I then guided the strip by hand to follow the shape of the letters on my template. I used my extruder tool fitted with a small circle disc and piped long strips of pink fondant. Again, I used my printouts as a guide to form each letter. By the way, I added CMC to the black fondant here so that it dries hard. This is so that it sets in a curved shape. And I rested it on a cake dummy measuring 9 inches in diameter. This was how I decided on the shape of the black name plaque. And then, I drew a line one inch away from the letters. To do this, I used the letters I printed out and glued them onto a large piece of paper.
I made it using fondant that has been added CMC. Before printing, I resized to make sure they are in the exact same size I wanted them on the cake.
