I have been decorating cakes for a year or so now, but I have the craziest question. Can anyone tell me how I can use BC on a cake and put a red car, for example, on the cake without using stars to fill in my outline? Does that make sense? Is there a way to make the red car look smooth without doing those crazy stars to fill in the outline? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Welcome to cake central. What you are looking for is probably a frozen buttercream transfer FBCT. If you check the articles section, there is a tutorial for these.

You could also do a piping gel transfer,, depending on what you fill in the outline with you could get a smooth effect.. It beats piping all those stars any day..

There is also a technic called Marshmallow Creme Flow-in. You "fill" in with the MM Creme. It stays soft. A nice CC member PM'd it to me a while ago. If you want the directions to it, PM me and I can send you what they sent me. I have not tried it, but it looks super easy=) Jen
