It's easy to bake (or buy) your own cake and personalize it with Chinese characters.  Some RCS parents saw this cake at school on Sunday, December 9, 2007, and they wanted to know how it was done.

Many merchants on the web make personalized icing sheets (see recommendation below).  You provide the merchant with a jpeg photo of the Chinese characters that you would like to use.  This is a good merchant: icingcreations@yahoo.com.  Just email her with your photo attached, & then she will send you an icing sheet in the mail.  You bake a cake, & then put on your own icing (or you buy a cake with plain icing), & then you lay the icing sheet on top.  The result is a beautifully decorated cake.  It could not be easier!

Not only is the icing sheet pretty, it's also inexpensive.  The icing sheet costs about $6.99.  

Thanks to former RCS parent Patti Waldmeir for this information.  Thanks to Jane Chen, daughter of Wang Laoshi (Mrs. Grace Chen), for providing the Chinese characters.
