I know you are all saying, “OK, we get it!… Nel is a great graphic designer! Enough already”. I just have one more thing to add to my earlier post on the Cake City logo that she drew on the back of envelope one morning while in the middle of her first cup of coffee. I just finished making some stencils of the logo in the event that we might need them. I thought it might be handy to use to make a quick imprint on the back of our plywood cake base boards that will be used on large cakes. If you watch the cake shows on TV, you will know what I mean. Anyway, almost NO modification was needed in making the stencil master. Just a small change to the “A” in CAKE to get rid of one “island”. That’s it. That is very unusual. Most logos require much modification to make a stencil. Then it was on to the Cricut machine that I have set up to accept SVG files and a perfect stencil was produced. The one shown here was made in card stock (paper), but I made some using plastic that will be very rugged.
