Now take this cake, cut it in half and still fit everything there on it. She originally asked for a 1/4 sheet cake and asked for the rose in each corner with all that writing. I told her I didn't think I could fit all the writing on that size cake. I asked her if I couldn't fit it all on, what would she prefer be left off. Then she asked me what about if you just put JL instead of Janet. I wanted to say oh sure lady, three less letters will make all the difference in how much room there is. In the end she opted for a larger cake rather than cut out any of the wording.

I cannot write as pretty as this with pen and paper! Let alone with a cake writing tool. I always love it when you show your cakes!
Me too...I really enjoy your cake decorating talent!
she could have said H B everyone or first letter of name only. glad she gave you a bigger space to work on. people never cease to amaze me... I am with Ginny, my writing is horrible. they would think a doctor wrote on the cake.
I bet you do get some crazy requests...and I dont mean just the impossible ones.
Well, you did another good cake decorating job. Amazing what people will ask you to do.
Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Let's see - a birthday party in honor of 4 people and she wanted a 1/4 sheet? Even if the 4 honorees were the only people at the party a 1/4 sheet would have been barely enough! (Pretty cake!)
The writing has always been easy for me it was the flowers and borders that I had a hard time with when I first started doing these.
Glad you like them.
Depending on how big you cut the pieces you could feed 12 with a 1/4 sheet. Of course if you have people who want a big piece of cake you aren't going to get that many.
I was annoyed with myself when I wrote the names. I almost didn't have enough room to fit them all on one line. I should have started further over to the left.
That's a lot of names. Goodness. You got them all on and that's the good part.
Have a fabulous day off, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
You did a great job! People just don't think sometimes.
I was annoyed with myself that I started the names so far over on the left and almost didn't have enough room to fit them all on one line
Your cakes always look so beautiful, Ann... and this one is no different. But all that on a 1/4 sheet? I don't think so! Sheesh! I'm glad the woman who ordered the cake got "hit with a smart stick" at the last minute and changed her mind on the size. *haha* Love, Andrea xoxo
thinking along the same lines...as Rose
I run into this with calligraphy....
I count the letters and spaces, divide in half and make a small mark for beginning and ending of the names. Might help to center and to see if all that will fit.
