Ok- I am attempting a FBCT for my aunt's birthday cake. I have done CT, but not FBCT. I think the technique is simalar, but I have a question...
The icing will be chocolate, how do I make the FBCT so you can SEE it, but not completely backed with white? (Did that make sence?? icon_confused.gif ) The FBCT will be a little old lady... help please!!

I have made these A LOT. You can back them with the chocolate if you want to, or you can just do the colors slightly thicker and kind of squish them down when they are slightly set before freezing.

ok- now how far in advance can I make the transfer? Her birthday is not till the 11th, but I was going to practice this weekend. Will it keep in the freezer for a few days?

It should be fine in the freezer, just wrap it well to keep odor out.

Thanks for the help - I made the transfer today and it was not as bad as I thought!! I will make another one for the "official" cake - there are a few things I want to change. Thanks so much!!
