I am practicing my handwriting on cakes (cursive and print). Is there a chart on how the cursive letters are supposed to look. I've seen some that are prettier than others (fonts). I was modering if there is a laminated sheet that you can practice on by tracing, then wipe off, like I had as a kid when I was learning to write.
You can always make your own! Print out the alphabet from any font you want on your computer, and laminate it. Wilton has the little practice boards that you can wipe off, too.

Well my new favorite method is to print off of the computer a font that I like, cover with parchment (I like the wilton on that is silicone treated)(waxed paper works too, but I personally think the royal letters stick) then pipe your lettering with royal icing, let dry a day or so, place on cake. Before that I did the pin prick method where you print from the computer, then poke holes through it, press lightly on the cake and trace. But I found that I often dented the icing with my fingers or the paper a little. Before that I used the letter press. But personally I didnt like the looks of it. You can see my vast improvement if you check out my photos.
Pooh cake, petunia, blue cake with daisies =Royal lettering
Chocolate birthday cake, spartan Birthday cake, and tractor cake=pin prick
Lavendar roses= letter press.
But if you wanted to practice like you said, just print something from the computer, place some kind of clear plastic over the top (like a report cover and practice away!
I have not made royal icing in at least a year butto be able to have my wrinting better. U sure may make a batch I have all color candy melts have to try both the letters dont melt in the heat?
