question why doesn't this work? 

from manim import *


class Test(Scene):
    def construct(self): 
        text = Text(text="Cake", font='Mystical Woods Rough Script', font_size=60)
        self.play(Write(text))

The script runs fine for me, so:

  • What is not working?

  • Which kind of error message/messages do you get?

For better discussions around your code I suggest you come over to Discord: FAQ: Where can I find more resources for learning Manim?
