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???

Before I write on my cakes I always turn the cake pan I baked the cake in over and practice on the back of it...I will place something where flowers or decorations would be on the cake, and then practice my fonts,fonts size and placement of my writing....you can use your spatula to wipe the icing off the pan and do it over and over till your comfortable with how your going to write it on the cake...HTH's, Mary
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!

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!!!
