Ok...I have an idea and was looking for some input as to whether or not anyone thinks it will work...

I have to do a 12" round groom's cake. The top of the cake is to be the Steelers' logo. The logo in and of itself is round. So, I was thinking it would take up the entire top of the cake..not border or anything like that.

Soooo..I am planning on doing a FBCT for it. Then I thought...what if I traced the cake pan on a board and used it as a base for my transfer. Then....when I went to ice the cake, put it on the transfer and went about icing it according to the upside down method? I am thinking it would be smooth and (hopefully) even. (I hope this explaination is making sense...it really makes sense in my head, I swear.... icon_lol.gif )

What do you think?!?!

Thanks! icon_biggrin.gif

PS. If anyone has any suggestions on pricing, that would be appreciated, too!! It's going to be a chocolate cake with buttercream icing.

I do that quite often. To me, it is easier that way! Last night, I did an old-fashioned Coca-Cola Button for a 10" cake and it worked out perfectly.

Good luck!
