2. Add in some nice details for the background, such as some cartoonish cheese.

I made my cheese with the pen tool, based on a image of cartoon cheese I found on Google Images.

Looks pretty nice, doesn't it?

3. Now, let's finally start the text!

First get the Horizontal Type Tool, and write out your text. Use the color #ffb02c or similar.

4. Now for some nice post-effects.

First start by creating a new layer, then "Apply the Image," (Image > Apply Image...) this will have made everything visible on the single layer.

Now apply Filter > Noise > Add Noise with an amount of about 1.5-2.5.

Lastly, apply Filter > Render > Lighting Effects, with a nice spotlight.
