Hello All!
In June, I have to make a cake with a Snapple bottle on it. I was thinking I'd try a FBCT (I will start practicing now). But I have some questions:
If in my practicing, I get a really great version, can I freeze it and save it until June?
Is there any reson I cannot transfer the design to the cake the day before?
I have a tutorial (I think from this site) - but if anyone can offer any suggestions it would be very welcome!

I have never frozen an FBCT for more than a week, but as long as it doesn't get broken and it's sandwiched in waxed paper, I don't see why you couldn't keep it. I do think I would try wrapping in plastic wrap too just to ward off any freezer burn taste. IMHO, FBCT will crack the day you need it, therefore you'll have to make a new one anyway 
And I think you can put the FBCT on the cake anytime you'd like.
I have kept a FBCT in the freezer for two weeks and it was fine...can't see why a couple more weeks would harm it as long as it was sealed to keep out freezer burn and the likes.
You can most definately put the transfer on the day before. Once you have it on and it defrosts, it acts like regular buttercream (although mine does not crust after being frozen).
