Take a look at this sketch and tell me if its a good idea. the colors used are what I would liek to achieve. Thomas will be a frozen buttercream transfer. Any ideas how to enhance the design?

This is for a cupcakecake.

Edit: Ok, I did the sketch in paint and I cannot upload it. I will try something else. Sorry!

Looks great. If you do the FBCT thin, then build up in the same colors of frosting, you can actually give it a 3 dimentional look. I did that with a baby shower cake I did with a baby buggy on it.

It's also in my gallery if that link doesn't work.

Ok, so I chickened out on the hill in the background thing. But I am still happy with the finished product. I charged $50 bucks for this. Is that too steep?

just like w/ reg. cake...a little dab of icing under each cupcake holds them in place. just "mush" them together tight and then ice way like regular cake.
