People I work with make beautiful cakes...only to ruin them when they write. I have found if you hold the bag with your dominant hand.. and write with your arms not your hands, you have better results. Also..don't stress over it SO much. If all your thinking is..OH MY GOODNESS I'M WRITING ON THIS CAKE..:. You will mess it up! Hold your breath, and in your swirliest script, write like you're using a pen, & it will get easier...

Too much a perfectionist, I have a no-fail way to get my messages on my cakes that nobody has mentioned... I find a great font to fit my project (often through free downloads) and print it from the computer in the correct size. I place the page on my rolled fondant and trace with any tool sharp enough to leave a slight indentation without cutting the paper. Next, I use an exacto knife or small paring knife to cut it out. It's SO easy and I constantly get great compliments on the look of my lettering and uniqueness of using different fonts!
