Honest Opinion

birdgirl Posted 7 Jun 2006 , 12:55pm

This is the first time to post here and also I am new at decorating cakes. I need an honest opinion about the cake I made for my hubby to take to work. He works in the avionics industry and so I made an "airplane" cake using a frozen buttercream transfer. I know it is far from perfect but any pointers would be helpful. Thanks for looking! "Enjoy" was put on the cake since there are a few people he works with who like to help themselves to others food--it was meant as a joke!

I think its fabulous! I've never attempted a FBCT. I hope mine turns out as well when I finally do.

It looks great! How did you get it on the cake in one piece. I tried a FBCT and it kinda cracked as I was trying to get it on the cake. How long did you freeze it for?[/i]

Thank you for looking. Hubby took it to work and everyone enjoyed it. I used plastic wrap instead of wax paper since it has some give the transfer can bend a little without breaking. I also froze it for about 3 hours while I did other stuff. I am really enjoying this new hobby!!
