Everyone,
Im relatively new to cakes, although I am familiar with edible images. But what are icing images or icing plaques? Ive seen them on several cakes recently and Im curious. How do you make them? Do you need a printer like the edible images? Im confused 
I used the fondant plaques on a cake I made this week. They are pretty easy. I was making jungle animals. I printed out the edible image of the animals I wanted. I cut out the images, rolled out fondant, dampened it slightly with water on a small paint brush and attached the edible image to it. Then I used an exacto knife to trim around the images. It was time comsuming, but not difficult.
Thanks Marthajo1. I like how it helps to give a little bit of a 3-D look. I used scraps of fondant that I had colored, and was left over from other projects. I had lots of little pieces of different colors. I was able to match my fondant colors pretty closely to the color of the animal. I think I like that better than just putting them on white fondant. I had different animals on each side of the cake.
I know that an FBCT can look like a plaques and some people refer to them as plaques could that be what you are talking about or has your question already been answered?
Are agree! Price, your animal plaques are VERY cute and VERY well done. If all you did was stick an edible image onto some rolled our fondant, then this gives me hope! 
Quesiton: Does it matter how thick your fondant is? I imagine just not so thin that it will break? 1/8 or 1/4 inch, just a guess...
Thanks so much
The way price used plaques is one way. I make plaques a lot as a base for placing & decorating some things on & the placing the completed plaque on the cake. My fairy is on a plaque, so is the clown & Raggedy Ann. in my photos. You can buy cutters or use anything to get the shape you want.
Price!!!!!!!!! Your plaque work is perfecto!!! I love it! Thanks for sharing that technique. I have been wanting to do something like that and after seeing your jungle cake - I know I can do it (maybe like you some day - if I practice!! 
)
Excellent work!
