I finished my first FBCT cake today. They weren't perfect, but the cake turned out really well, IMO. There are some things that I didn't think about, like that the images will be turned over when put on the cake, so all the letters of my dh's name are now backwards. Happy Birthday honey! Here's a dyslexic cake just for you!
I ran out of green icing and just finished it up in chocolate. No-one will mind and it's not like I'm getting paid for it. I also did about half of the stars on the cake with my 3 month old sleeping in my arms..
I can see where I made some mistakes. Next time I will do the FBCT when there are no interruptions, for instance. My dh ended up working late and I had to prepare dinner and run after my toddler while making them, so they crusted over before I could smooth them. Anyway, I don't think they turned out too bad for a first try.
I think you did a great job! I haven't tried a fbct yet, but they look like a lot of fun!
It was a blast!! I was all giggly and excited to be doing it for the first time and I must admit that it was really a LOT of fun!
Next time you can go into your print settings and you might have to go into properties, but you can print a mirror image that way things won't be backwards. Just a tip for next time.

Yeah, I felt very silly when I took the letters off the board to put them on the cake and realized they were going to be backwards! Then I decided, what the heck, I'm not throwing them away! Won't make that mistake again!!
I haven't tried FBCT yet, but I've read about how to do it. Your first try looks great!
what does fbct stand for? sorry im new. im still learning the lingo. what does dh stand for too? ive seen that one also.
FBCT stand for frozen buttercream transfer. DH can stand for dear husband or duncan hines.
Ok...this is really cute. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to. You did an awesome job!! Yor DH is a lucky man...
Thanks for the deciphering the lingo for me. I guess that would make sense. And makes me understand a lot of the conversations better. lol.
Great job! I've had my share of experience with backwardsesness LOL. Take a look at my texas cookies. I hadn't realized they were backwards until I started decorating them. LOL. It really looks good though! Such cute animal designs...
Great job! I almost did my first one backwards too, but realized before I got done w/the outlining that it was going to be wrong, so I re-printed and started over
ROFLMBO about Dh being Dear Husband OR Duncan Hines! LOL.
