Type your text using the color you prefer. The font used in this tutorial is called DomCasual BT... some other fonts that may work well include (but are not limited to) Arial Rounded MT Bold, Challenge Extra Bold, Comic Sans MS, and GoodDogPlain. Choose Layer » Rasterize » Type, then CTRL+Click on the layer to get a selection around the text.

 
Now, make a new layer above the the one with your text. Go to Select » Modify » Contract and choose a setting of about 5 (this may vary depending on the size and "fatness" of the font you are using). Choose a lighter shade of your text's color and press ALT+Delete to fill the selection. Press CTRL+D to deselect.

 
Next, go to Filter » Blur » Gaussian Blur and choose a setting of about 2.0 (again, this will vary depending on the size/fatness of your font).
 

Now that we have the basics out of the way, it's time to add some nifty Layer Styles to pull everything together. Select the original text layer and choose Layer » Layer Style » Bevel and Emboss. In the Bevel and Emboss menu, use the following settings, or if you prefer, click to view the Inner Bevel Settings.

Style: Inner Bevel
Technique: Smooth
Depth: 61%
Direction: Up
Size: 8
