How to sketch on existing component

Good day and thanks for your help.

Goal: To create 2 separate components to be 3D printed. Component 1 is the base for component 2 which is text. The text will be a new component and printed directly on Component 1.

I started off by creating two components and named them accordingly. Then selected component 1 as active, drew the sketch and extruded. Then selected component 2 which will be the text. I Googled and also tried to select the top of component 1 to sketch on but I cannot select it.

Is it possible at all and if, how. If not, is my only solution to create an offset plane from Zero and sketch on that?

Thanks so long.
