Cake topper request

[Jeff Chumbley]

I am looking for someone to help me with a design for a cake topper. It is for my lil sister and she wants it in mirrored acrylic and a elegant type of font. I have the material and would be happy to pay someone to help me with this.

Anybody interested please im me.

Just for a laugh- here's a design. What do you mean Arial Bold isn't elegant? We have to save up for Times New Roman round here....

Did you do this in corel draw? I have been trying to figure out how to do some acrylic cake tops also.Would you mine explaining how to do this when you get a littlle time. Thanks

Coreldraw, yes. That particular one, I drew a line, added the arrowhead in the outline pen dialogue, made it thick, converted it into a bitmap and then created an outline.

That got me the arrowhead.

Then I typed in the 4 letters for cake separately, so each was a separate item, plus the exclaimation mark.

Then I plonked them onto the arrowhead in the arrangement you see (making sure that there was enough overlap that the letters would stay where they were put), selected everything and hit
Arrange --> Shaping --> Weld

Took about 3 minutes.

You might consider cutting a heart shape, with the letters engraved in reverse on the back (so they are clear). That way you can use any fancy font. Most of them are too thin and detailed to make a good topper with welding together.
