I'm starting up and suck at it. It's never straight or placed properly. What's a good way to write on cakes, space properly. Do you download a font and do a transfer???

Someone posted that they use a laser leveler to get a straight line without marring the cake maybe u can try that?
Just stack the leveler on books or something so the line is where you need it.

I try NOT to write on cakes...lol But, when I do I have found that the Wilton Script Press helps a lot for me. I have never had a "pretty" hand writing, so that works.

Something that I have read along the way is to center the Middle letter of the word or phrase and work outward. Kind of like the old method of centering type on a manual typewriter... Ok...dating myself...

If I had an edible printer, I would never write on a cake again...chuckle..

Good luck!

The other trick that I learned long ago, is to make your writing kind of curly and funky. That way it's not even supposed to be evenand level and it looks all arty.

Here is a good tutorial from a fellow CCer http://www.ktka.com/news/2007/jul/10/word_appeal_sutterby_shows_how_write_appetizing_me/

Here is something my mom and I came up with and works great. We smooth our BC with viva towels after they crust. Then we actually print whatever lettering we want off the computer, trace it in a sheet of Viva and lay it in the cake. Take a pin or needle and poke holes along the lines to create a stencil to follow. You can use any lettering you have a font for. Here is a picture - I think the name of this font was Heather.

Thanks for the help! I may try poking the pin through paper/viva towels!!!
