Just when I thought I was done with making wedding cakes, I was asked to do one in a couple of weeks. They want four tiers, and on the bottom one, the bride wants the letter D in script. Is there a cheat sheet floating around that I could use to make this? My writing on icing is not too bad, but this for some reasons makes be nervous. Any help would be great.
You can also do a google for free online fonts and see what you can find that way.

You could do the letter in BC - just put the paper on top of the layer after crusted and poke with a pin all along the tracing.
If you're doing it with royal, most definitely with the extras. Perhaps dry a few on a curved surface (as in a flower former or something with a slighter curve) so that it fits around your cake tier a little better.
I've never done this but how about printing out a script D from ms word then cut out to make a stencil and use 1 of those color mist things and kind of airbrush/spraypainting it?? Its only 1 letter so this might work fine.
Good idea Zmama - perhaps if MicKindle has 2 pans (I know I don't have duplicates in every size just yet), turn one upside down and secure together with tape or what not on the outside first. That way, it would be tall enough. I didn't think of doing it on a cake pan! 
Since this kind of fits in with this topic, I thought I would ask......is there something out there that teaches or lets you practice handwriting on cakes? I really do not like my writing on cakes (unless it's printing), but I want to learn to freehand with BC so it's quick and easy when I just need to pipe "Congratulations" or Happy Birthday" or something like that.
