Wow! Cool scroll.

Around here, in the West things are so busy and back-logged that AOA 
scrolls are hand painted onto pre-made blanks - there are four 
designs, IIRC. I'm not sure how many years in arrears we are. It is 
the rare person who gets a custom made scroll for their AOA.

Uh, OB Food content - so what would people use to "paint" an 
"illumination" onto  a cake (not period, i imagine) or sugar plate or 
marzipan...
