JOE_M Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) This is a font called "all I want for christmas." Does it look close? I'd do 6mm or smaller ply, not MDF but that's because I'm not a fan of the termite barf. edit: If that's the font, tell me what number you want and I can throw it together in a few minutes in the morning.

Rob Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hey Merlin, I made one recently using some melamine faced MDF that came from my daughters old Ikea bed. About 5-6mm thick (quarter inch approx). I didn't need any finish as it was already white on one side and blue on the other. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Rob and Joe Thanks for the help.........................I have found what I call close enough. Will post a picture tomorrow nite. I have some 3-4mm ply and I will also try an LP record...................To much crap in MDF and they actually use MDF for these things to stick into cakes.......Yuk Merlin................

MrsN Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I made a few different cake toppers for my wedding cakes (I had several small cakes instead of one big one) I used acrylic that was about 3/16" thick Lucky2 and JTTHECLOCKMAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hey people, I cut one from vinyl and had a hardboard backer which I used as sort of box to keep it from breakage.

Rob Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Looks good Merlin. I know what you mean about the MDF but I reckoned it wouldn't be in the cake for more than a minute or two so didn't worry about it. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
