How do you make those sugar letter cake decorations?

Not the 3d stuff. Any tutorials/links would be appreciated, thanks!

well, i've never tried making those before, but if i were to try i'd start by drawing out a pattern and taping wax paper over it. then i'd piping little dot's of royal icing into the pattern. let it dry for a good long while then carefully remove it from the wax paper with a spatula or pallet knife. not sure how well that'd work, but it seems easy enough and royal icing is cheap and easy to make it's just 2-3 oz of egg whites to 1 pound confectioners sugar. you just mix it until it forms a smooth paste.
