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.
I use the buttercream recipe from the tutorial by cali4dawn. She recommends using a very buttery bc.

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.

dodibug,
I love your quote!
I love Jim Gaffigan. He has a couple of stand-up specials on comedy central. If you get the chance to catch them he is too funny! He was here in town a while back and we couldn't go! ![]()
