I'm making a devils food cake (2 layer) for DH's office and I was planning on tinting the icing green and adding a bit of peppermint extract to the cakes. I was going to put a rainbow (piped stars) on top with a shamrock (stars again) underneath and then smaller shamrocks on the sides. Now that seems boring to me. I very new to this but I'd like to try something different. I don't know how to do FBCT and while I looked at the article here I'm still a bit confused so I don't know if I could pull something like that off. Any ideas, though? I'm kind of sick of stars! icon_rolleyes.gif

A Celtic knot design would be great.

well you could be totally off the wall and make it look like the blarney stone with lip prints on it. I know, I know.... just a thought though.

Fbct's are really not difficult. Just follow the directions and have fun. Squirrelly Cakes described how she does it in one of these forums. Sorry can't remember which one. Maybe if you pm her she can direct you to the topic. HTH
