Honestly, I'd just use an edible marker. It won't have the 3D look that the icing would, but it'll still look nice. :)
These are the ones I use. They have a sort of flimsy felt tip that's good for varying line widths. If that's not ideal for you, I'd suggest these instead. I think they're the ones Sweetambs uses, but don't quote me on that.
Or you can always order a size 0 or 00 tip if you're dead set in writing with icing. If you still have trouble with bleeding and stuff, try making the icing just a little bit stiffer ( but not so stiff that the line breaks when you're piping) and see if that helps.
Grab some Food Safe Markers and draw on the grapes, etc.
I'm just going to pretend that it's edible marker.
It's actually not frosting. It's food grade marker, basically a fine point Sharpie. They are very fun and add a whole new dimension to preparing food, especially desserts.

Try these
I use a tiny tray that was included with my scale. Then I scoop the amount I measured up with a gelatine capsule. Gelatine capsules are really great for dosing. I can only recommend them. Get size 4 capsules as they are large enough for almost anything and easy to swallow. You can also add some color with food coloring pens to make distinguishing between substances easier.
Small pieces of folded paper folded to bindles also help a lot as well for carrying around powders. often much more convenient than baggies. Paper in general is a very useful tool when handling powders. Put a large sheet under your workspace so you don't lose anything. Use a dark color so you can see white powders better.
Tweezers are also very useful.
Yes, many of those look like lines of color were drawn on. No reason couldn't cut to shape either.
edit- could be using markers to draw on food like these.
