These cakes are simple chocolate cakes frosted with buttercream, encased with black fondant. I used mainly #3 and #5 writing tips to pipe the designs on.
Piping buttercream designs or words onto fondant is much easier if you trace an outline of your design on, first. With both of these cakes, I used toothpicks to lightly draw the design onto the fondant surface. This is also helpful for writing phrases, so that you don't run out of room. If necessary, you could use a paper design if you apply medium pressure to the paper as you trace it onto the fondant.
