I was wondering about doing FBCT on sides of a cake?? I know I have seen one, but wasnt sure if this was an easy procedure or not?? I dont know if it would work on a round cake, maybe square would be easier. If you have done this, let me know...thanks

That you can do a FBCT on the side of a cake. I researched it not too long ago, and was told it is possible, just make the transfer backing (where you spread the white) a little thinner so it doesn't jut out as far.

I ended up not doing it (redesign issue) but I still want to try.

Good luck!

I did one for my grandson with FBCT on the sides. It was a round cake. I didn't thin the icing where the FBCT went on and it was 3D but that is what I wanted. When they got a little soft I lightly touched them to make them curved like the cake. LouAnn

Thanks! Anyone else have any tips?

I recently tried FBCT on the sides of a fairytopia cake. I put small butterflies on the sides. I did each one on its own sheet so I could take out one butterfly at a time. After they froze I took off the backing and then put them back in the freezer to get hard again. To put them on I got as close to the freezer as possible then quickly took it from the freezer to the cake. They did thaw quickly. They did come out pretty good.

Sorry, just learning all these abbreviated terms, what is FBCT?

Frozen butttercream transfer

I have never heard of frozen buttercream transfer, how does it work, and what is it? Is it like fondant?
