I doubt that any lettering will remain readable after the baking. I 
think it is way too intricate. I would come up with a simple geometric 
design, such as perhaps an 'S' within a circle, considering your lady's 
name.

For a bit more on bread marks you might want to take a look at this 
file in the FOOD-BREADS section of the Florilegium:
bread-stamps-msg (12K) 11/16/02   Stamps used to leave insignia in 
bread.
