I am trying to figure out how to do cartoon images easily onto square cakes. I have a dora cake and a hulk cake due next week that I need to do. What techniques and tricks do you all use?
Thanks a latte!

I didn't have much luck with the FBCT. Prob need more practice! I like the look of fondant cut outs. It can be time consuming and simple designs work better. Basically it's the same technique work your way from the back to the front. I do mine on parchment and then slide it on the the finished cake.

Here's my Dora...

thanks for your ideas! wow kaat, i like your dora! That's fondant? cool beans. Well, I'll post my pics when they are done. I hope they turn out!!

Your Dora is incredible Kaat! I just tried a fbct last month and it was surprisingly easy but I really like the look of the fondant cutouts better! Very nice!

Wow, Kaat,, I love that Dora!! Did you just use an exacto?

This is soooooooooooooo cute

i did just the outline of the image on my dora FBCT and filled in the colors after i put it on the cake.

I have a kopykake projector to help me out with outlining and images.Best investment I ever made!!
