Hi all,
I am making a cake for my niece and she wants "Stephanie" from lazytown. So I was just going to do a FBCT of her and lay it flat, but then after some brain storming I thought it would be neat if I could make her stand up on the cake. I know you can do this with color flow, but I don't have any and I need it done for tomorrow. So I was wondering if any of you know a clever way to make this workicon_smile.gif Any suggestions welcomeicon_smile.gif Thanks so much!-Alison

gonna give you a bump* because I would like to hear what others have to say but in my experience I would say probably not but maybe if you have access to the chocolate, a chocolate transfer sounds like it would be a great option for you and could definitely be done in time, just like a fbct!!! Good luck!

No, because once they defrost they will be as soft as regular buttercream icon_sad.gif
You could also try making it with royal icing.

For a stand up Stephanie, you need a choc. transfer, colorflow, or an edible image on a MMF plaque I think. I can't think of a way to make a FBCT work.

I am going to say no...if you are wanting something to stand up I would do a transfer with chocolate. If you choose this route remember to keep it cool. Good luck!

I would also suggest making a chocolate transfer. It's the same as doing a FBCT, but with chocolate.

There are WONDERFUL avatar magicians on this site who love to help. I am sure if you post that you need one someone will come along to help you. I am still unsure of how to do it myself. (Magician Lisa did mine)
