I'm really confused! My client will get her daughter's birthday cake tommorow and I'm still not sure what to do,she wants a Dora the Explorer theme, she prefers the size 13X9",AND she prefers dora to be 3D on that cake or sculpted! even if that was flat she doesn't mind, I've already done once a sculpted character but it was very big and I'm not sure about this size, I've seen many of u talking about FBCT or RIT I thought of trying that on a nother cake then cut then and paste them on the original one, but I have not tried them befor and I don't know if i should try them today.. I'm also getting sick and I'm pregnant but the women is depending on me and it's the first time she orders from me, I DON'T WAN'T TO FAIL HER! pls give me some guide line! icon_cry.gif

you can make the royal icing figures to stand up by putting a stick in them. not sure if they will be dried by tomorrow though. you could also do them with candy melts the same way with the stick. seems kind of tricky to put a fbct on top of another then trim. not impossible just tricky. If it were me, I would decorate the 9x13 like a background scene then add the sticked figures to the top.

If it were me, (considering you're getting sick and that your pregnant) I would decorate the 9x13 like a background, buy some dora plastic toy and incorporate it into the background. Then I would explain to her about copyrights. icon_smile.gif I think I read that the copyright infringement fine is $100,000.

Good luck!

Here's a thread with info on color-flo, picture flow, and chocolate transfers, as well as frozen buttercream transfers:

There is also info on edible image plaques but you won't be able to utilize that without an edible image.
