You could do a pic of the runner bending over after crossing the finish line taking a breather and the nurse poking him in the butt with a shot..LOL

No really, I have no idea..that is a hard one..you could always just go with chocolate with choc. covered strawberries..It is a good cake that can be for a man or woman..

good luck!!

I just had to do a cake for a man and woman and I did a gift box cake.

Are these people friends....I think the guy running away from the Nurse, who either has a shot or a spoonfull of medicine (in FBCT?) would be cute.

He could also be stretching out, and get a kink in his back (I envision him sitting on ground with legs out, bending to the side with little squiggles coming from his back and an ouch face on.) Then she could be next to him, checking him out. This would also be a drawing with FBCT probably. May be tough.

Or, you could do chocolate with rasp filling and ganache.....one of my personal favorites! icon_smile.gif

I LOVE your idea. Thanks so much. I am not good with computers at all, can you tell me how to print out the runner so it is smaller and the nurse bigger? I have never done a FBCT but can't wait to try, I just need to figure out how to get the pictures the correct size.

You should be able to print the pictures as is and then reduce the size at Kinko's or other copy center for a small price

On my computer I can click the picture, and it brings it up like a photo, then click "edit picture" and there's an option for resize. It's a microsoft picture editing thingie. (technical term)

Maybe you could fool around on your 'puter to see if you have that option?

Thank you all soo much, I could never have come up with this on my own!Although I have never tried a FBCT and I excited to try. I resized my pictures in powerpoint.
Have any got any pointers or tricks for doing FBCT?

on my pc........when I hit ctrl and p at the same time it brings up the printing box and usually on properties or something you can adjust the photo to either a certain size per inches......or a certain % like 50% or 75% or whatever your needs.
