You could do a fbct of 2 clipart images and try to put them together. I think I found two just to give you an idea. Good Luck!!

mtdk454, that's a good idea, I had planned on doing a bct but was just stuck on the pic. But now I am struggling as to whether or not to rebake the cake. It is carrot cake, when I got home from work I hurried and got it mixed up and in the oven, waited about 15 minutes and when I turned it out on the board it had stuck in the pan, well I finally got it out and patched it best I could. It is for a birthday at work tomorrow and I only charged the lady 6 dollars, I told her sense it is for a co-worker I would go in half with her just to cover the ingredients. So I don't know if I will be able to make it look right once I have iced it, I am using the crusting cream cheese icing, agin thanksicon_smile.gif

Irisinbloom - it may be just fine if you stick it in the fridge for a while before icing it? It would firm up a bit...I assume you're not going to torte & fill it? If not, just let if firm up in the fridge, then crumb coat and ice with the cream cheese icing...you should be able to hide the patched area with the icing just fine. It may take an extra thick coat, though. Did it stick to the pan in the middle or near the sides of the cake? If near the middle, you can just strategically place your FBCT to hide any flaws! lol icon_lol.gificon_razz.gif

Gosh....I wish I'd seen this earlier! This would have probably worked, with gray hair instead of brown....

JennT thanks so much I was just getting ready to go ahead and bake another one. It's been in the frig for about 30 minutes now, I have never had this happen I was schocked. It decided to stick on the corners on all four sides, I wish it had of been the middle, thanks so much.

Crimsicle, this is just what I need, I can't thank you enough. I haven't done the bct yet, I have been stressing over the cake sticking in the pan, but thanks to you ladies I can fo ahead and start on my transfer, you all don't know how much I appreciate your helpicon_smile.gif

Well I just finished the carrot cake and wanted to show you ladies that helped me the end result. I ended up putting the cake bottom side down because it looked pretty bad and was afraid I couldn't get it covered good enough. The lady the cake is for loves to mow so yesterday while out mowing she got really sun burned so they wanted her to look like she was sun burned, so here it is I took a tooth pick to draw her mouth but you can't tell from the picture, thanks againicon_smile.gif
