I want to make a "rescue heroes" cake for my son's bday next week. My idea is to make a double layer round cake and try to put the rescue heroes logo (basically a red "R" in a double circle) on it. I thought this could be easy if I blow up the logo and try to make a stencil out of it. But I want it to be an iced cake. So, how can I do this? What do I use for the stencil and how do I overlay it onto an iced cake? I thought I might be able to use red 'christmas' sugars to shake into the stencil.

Does this idea have a chance? Any other suggestions?

You could do a FBCT.

The stencil idea would work, I think Wilton even has a red color in there cake dust.

Thanks for the reply. I'll look for the dust. What is FCBT? Sorry for my naivete.

Annie

FBCT is a Frozen buttercream transfer.

You do the design on a sheet of parchment and freeze then "flip" in onto your cake. AWESOME!!!

You can find instructions in the article section I believe on this site.

Just wanted to (finally) post a thank you. I tried the FBCT suggestion for the first time on my son's rescue hero cake. I was happy with it and so were the four year olds - but not a critical group when it comes to cake. Here's how it came out. (I hope I can post the photo - never done that either!) **OOPS _ can't seem to get the photo uploaded. I'll try again sometime. but thanks!
