After finding a font that you like, what is the next step? How do you use it/transfer it onto your cake???

Any number of ways. Print it out and use a pin to prick the outline and transfer it, make a stencil out of it and spread RI through, make templates and cut the letters out of fondant... these are the simplest methods, I think.

I print them out in reverse, then take white icing writers and out line them very thin, lay on the cake and rub gently then carefully lift the paper then go over with your icing.

HTH.

If you are a serious stickler for perfection and want whatever you are writing, at least if it is pretty small or a monogram to be exactly perfect and you can't pipe worth a dang..you can try my method. icon_smile.gif

See the monogram pic in my photos, instructions are in the comments.

cupcakes-after you click print there should be an option for you to print in reverse or mirror image.
