The third time was alomost a charm. I worked on my FBCT last night and i put it in the freezer for about 6 hours. I really thought that I almost had it. However, I did not. This time, the image looked great, but when I placed it on the cake, some of the outlines did not peel off and then I realized that half the image was not firm and stayed on the parchment paper. What could I have done better? Left it longer in the freezer? Not used parchmant paper? Change BC recepi (I use 1 cup crisco, 1 tbs meringue powder, flavorings, water, poweder sugar. Please help, I want to succeed.
Thanks, Sharon.

1c Crisco
3 sticks butter
2 tsp flavoring
2lbs powdered sugar,sifted 5 times

  ?  Cream butter and shortening well
  ?  add flavoring
  ?  slowly add powdered sugar
  ?  mix on 8-10 speed for approximately 5-10 minutes for smooth consistency

I also added a tblsp of meringue powder when I was sifting.

You're welcome! I forgot to add-I also very lightly greased the wax paper with crisco to help with the release part. Someone here suggested that and it worked great!

There is a recipe by squirrellycake for FBCT, I Dont think it is in the recipes, but somewhere in the forums. It does not crust, but it is a perfect consistency for FBCT.

try freezing your fbct and then when you get it out hurry and put it on your cake and then back in the freezer.
