I need help! I want to make a cake for my son's 3rd birthday, but I an not sure what to do. I want to stencil on a picture. I was wondering what might be the easiest. Trying to roll on a fondant (never done before) or will a butter cream frosting dry hard enough to apply the picture on?

If I used rolled fondt how much do I need to get for a 9x13 cake? Any suggestions????

Thanks in advance

i would recomend doing a frozen buttercream transfer. you use an all butter recipe, and take a picture that you'd like to trace. place it under waxpaper, tape it down and trace it with bc (make sure its in reverse) and freeze it. when hard, place on cake upside down, and peel off the paper. pipe a border if you'd like. if you put meringue powder in your icing, it should crust very well.

I agree with the buttercream transfer.
