How would I make invitations out of cake?!

The cakes would be much smaller,a different color,etc,but this is just to give you an idea of what i mean,if you're confused.)
Answers: I'm turning 17 in 12 days,and I'm having my bday party during spring break (in April) at my house in ocala for 3 or 4 days,and I want to do something really cool for my invitations,which I plan to hand out on my bday.I was thinking about getting using the sheet icing bakeries use for wedding cakes and making tiny cakes for the invitations.But how would i get the information on the invitations without it looking bad?Obviously,I wouldn't write it out on the cake because there's a lot of info,since the party is out of town.I want it to look really cute and elegant.

You could make the invitations the "candle" on the cake. You could make a cute invitation on your computer with colored paper, roll it up, draw white diagonal lines on the rolled up paper with a white paint pen, put some kind of string in it for a "wick" and stick it into the top of the cake!
Fondant icing may be difficult to work with, so you could do this with regular cupcakes too.
I would make cupcakes and then get a bunch of chinese food boxs and put all the information on the box. You could decorate the box to make it more elegant looking. Maybe spell out invited on the cupcakes. Decorating cakes is very time consuming and looks easier than it really is. You also have to worry about trasporting those delicious little cakes. Cross your fingers that the info doesn't get smeared and that those invited write the info down before they get gobbled up. Either way its a great idea. Good luck!
use fondant its easier to write on it :)
u can search for recipes or just get the mix box
