I think she means the writing on her cakes not the watermark signature
I find the font I want to use on www.acidfonts.com. After I install it I type what I'd like to write and print it out. Then I practice it freehand on paper then when I'm satisfied I'll write on the cake.
Writing can really make or break a cake can't it? It's my least favorite thing!

Thank you Beezaly, I will definitely have to try that and by the way your cakes are beautiful!
Thank you Krissy I will be looking at fonts for a while! I really appreciate all the help here!

You are so welcome, and Thank you! I use http://www.searchfreefonts.com/ and can find alot there that are great! ![]()
is that watermarks or was that actually written on the cakes? looks like it wasnt written on the cakes and that it was just fonts laid over the cakes from a program on the computer...
The best way to practice writing on cakes is to get a job at a grocery store where you have to write "Happy Birthday" 3,000 times a day, your handwriting gets soooo much better ![]()

My poor old carpel tunneled hand would fall off if I had to write Happy Birthday that many times. ![]()

I am so horrible at writing on a cake that I do it on the cake board...it is much easier as it is not high up...more like writing on paper and it turns out not too badly..I usually print.
I have seen people print out on edible icing sheets and then stick it on a gumpaste plaque...also looks good and is easy.
I am not help at actually writing on top of cakes but if you wanted alternatives....
Any chance I get at writing on rice paper with those edible markers, I take. I'm terrible too at writing on cakes but I will try the mirror image with piping gel. That will help me alot. It's weird that I have really good handwriting but just can't do it worth a flip on cakes.
I think Wilton needs to add "Writing" as one of their cake courses!!
LOL barbaranoel...
The place I take cake decorating does teach writing. If your writing isn't all that great on paper though it's harder on a cake.
Writing on a cake is different, sometime I can do okay on a board but once I get to the cake UGH.. at least for me.
