Thank you everyone here for inspiring me! I made my first cake today, I went and bought a piping bag (never used one until this morning) and made a buttercream transfer for a family dinner tomorrow. Only one thing how best to keep the cake until tomorrow? You guys are great I am so addicted now and will be out buying books tomorrow

The transfer looks great! You did a good job I am sure your family will love it.

Great Job !

You guys on this board are so great!

You really did a great job. I'm inspired to try the technique myself. Thank you for sharing.

It looks GREAT! Good job!

Wow, that's your first FBCT? You're a pro already!

for the question on how to best keep the cake, I suppose that depends on your icing...what kind did you use? If it can sit out, I like to box it up so its covered nice...

btw...your transfer looks great...I am wanting to try that but been too chicken!

I love it! The simpsons are great! Awesome job. I just did my 1st one too!

You did a fabulous job chikki, welcome to your new addiction.

Well that is encouraging to me because I never had the nerve to try a transfer other than the little rainbow from the Wilton course. I'll have to start thinking about it.

I've never done one but think your's came out really great. Job well done!!!
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAA for Homer!!!!

I can't believe you did a transfer on your first cake!!! And it turned out so great!!! It took me YEARS to try one. I have been decorating for a long time, and yours turned out better than my first one. You had better save your money and start buying decorating stuff, because you have natural talent!

The tutorials here are great, you guys made it so easy for me to follow. I am hooked and have been practising different frsotings so the cake looks smooth next time. The cake was gone quick which is the important bit to me hahahaha!

you might try a crusting buttercream and the viva paper towel method if you're trying to get a smooth icing.....I love your transfer!

WOW!! Great job! You have inspired me to try one! I have been wanting to do one for a long time.

You did an excellent job for your first time. Watch is though all this is definitely addicting!
