{"product_id":"assorted-happy-birthday-scripts","title":"Assorted Happy Birthday Scripts","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHappy Birthday Scripts are molded plastic cake picks that spell out the full greeting in a single connected piece of cursive lettering. Each box contains 144 pieces in an assortment of four colors: green, blue, yellow, and pink. The lettering is raised and outlined, so it reads cleanly from across a room and photographs without getting lost in the frosting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThese are decorative picks, not edible decorations. They are pressed into the top of a finished cake and lifted off before serving. Available in bulk and wholesale quantities for bakeries, grocery bakery departments, supermarkets, caterers, party suppliers, and commercial cake operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"full_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a Script Beats Piped Lettering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eWriting \"Happy Birthday\" in buttercream by hand is the slowest step on most decorated cakes, and it is the step most likely to go wrong. A shaky line, a misspelling, or a bag that spits at the wrong moment means scraping the top and starting over. A script pick takes that variable out of the process entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIt also standardizes the look. A bakery running high volume with multiple decorators of different skill levels gets a consistent product, because the lettering no longer depends on who is on shift. The decorator's time goes into the borders and the flowers, where it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking With the Four-Color Assortment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eGreen, blue, yellow, and pink cover the standard birthday palette, and the assortment means a single box supports a full case display without ordering four separate SKUs. For a grocery bakery running a case of ready-made cakes, that is the point: the pick color changes but the SKU does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe colors are soft and pastel rather than saturated, which means they sit against white and light buttercream cleanly and can get lost against a heavily colored top. On a dark chocolate or a deep-colored cake, the outline on the lettering is what carries it, so placement on a lighter field or against a white border reads strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe script is a single connected piece, which means it goes on flat and level or it does not go on right. Press the prongs straight down into the cake rather than at an angle, and set it before the frosting crusts. Into a crusted surface, the piece will crack the finish around the entry points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eOn a whipped or stabilized cream cake, the softer surface means the script can sink over a few hours in a display case. Setting it at the point of sale rather than at production keeps it sitting proud on top where it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoval Before Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003ePlastic picks come off the cake before it is cut. That means the person serving needs to know they are there, which is straightforward on a cake going out to a table and less so on a cake going into a box for a customer to serve at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eBakeries selling boxed cakes with picks in them typically handle this with a note on the box or a word at the counter. It is a small thing that becomes a large thing exactly once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReusability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003ePlastic scripts are washable and can be reused, which changes the cost math against a one-time edible decoration. In a home or small operation, a box of 144 can run a long time. In a commercial bakery selling cakes to customers, the pick leaves with the cake and does not come back, so it is a consumable and the 144 count is a production quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eRetail bakery birthday cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eGrocery and supermarket bakery cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSheet cakes and quarter sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eRound layer cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCupcake display centerpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eIce cream cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCatering and event cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOffice and workplace celebration cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eParty supply retail\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCake decorating classes and instruction\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBirthday party planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBulk and Wholesale Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eSold by the box of 144 pieces.
