My mother was a professional cake decorator and amazing at handwriting on cakes! Her top tip to me was that once you start a run of icing, try lifting the tip of your piping bag or nozzle higher up above your surface and sort of "lay" the stream of icing down, and only come back down to the surface at the end of a section to close off the stream. You get a smoother line that way. This is a really useful video, and gives a nice method to achieve different fonts!

This is basically a variation of a frozen buttercream transfer. If you print out the letters/design in mirror image instead, then you can freeze your finished design, and just flip it over and place it directly on the cake where you want it instead of trying to lift it off the wax paper and place it on the cake, which is problematic and has a high potential for breakage, especially with something delicate like letters. Overall nice idea, and workable with chocolate.

[lisamcclure]

May I make a suggestion? Flip your pan over, print out 2 of your design and tape to the pan, then wax paper over top. You won’t have to transfer to the pan, risking messing up your design.

I would also suggest printing your message in mirror image. Also trace the words on separate pieces of wax paper so when you trace it with the chocolate and go to transfer it onto your cake you don’t have to handle the words. You just flip the chocolate side onto the cake and carefully peel back the wax paper. You might find you have better control of the placement as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nice.Good for all who are afraid of writing on the cake.

[kitastringer]

Great idea. Scrape your chocolate back in a bowl verses wiping it off with a towel. I kept screaming ching ching ching in the trash 🤣🤣

[jhmumma]

Brilliant! Best cake decorating hack ever.

[karyncooney]

Thank you for this tip! Handwriting on cakes is the one thing I'm terrible at, so this really helps!!!😊

[GoMommaGo]

My tip would be to get a piping bag and tip. you will have better control of the flow of the chocolate for prettier lettering🙂

I just found you i have never seen anything like this you go for it girl I love you sweetie you get the cake done you go to talking about your family and take hours to make the cake you so so great 😀 i will be watching you from now on i can watch you ever day i enjoyed it sooo much

[miniomew]

Sorry just a little bit of a heads up, I wouldn't dare to waste any of the chocolate by wiping it away with a tissue or whatever. All you need to do is get a spoon or anything and scrape it back into the bag. But overall, the rest of the video is a very good idea for a hack and it works just fine so thank you so much for this.

[tammiokaharris]

WOW....
My hand writing is horrid.
Thank you so much...
Your hack works beautiful...

Thank you for sharing. A suggestion: if you make piping bags from baking paper(very simple) and lead it with your other pointing finger will give you a much finer, smoother finish and you can cut as small or as big hole as you want. (Also saves on plastic 😉)

[rachelbaldwin]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be trying it out tomorrow for my daughter's birthday cake. I actually appreciated all the mistakes. It showed the challenges and how to problem solve, rather than a highly edited, unrealistic tutorial. Thanks again for sharing.

[debbiepietropaolo]

This is perfect! Thanks for giving me confidence in trying the lettering!

[wendyodell]

Wow, that's awesome! I have to make a birthday cake in April so your tip will definitely come in handy. Thanks Nerissa ❤
Stay safe XOXO

[River_Sparrow]

Great idea!! I’m definitely going to try this on my hubby’s birthday cake in a couple of weeks! 😍😍

[joanjones]

LIFE SAVER!!! Thank you so much for sharing this tip!!!🧡

Brilliant idea. Come on because I am having troubles writing on a little cake. I will be using this method and record it for my channel. Credits to you my saving angel.

[aikuhahgase]

Hey! That's a nice idea, but what if you flipped the printed text and then do your technique so that you'll have the shiny part
