I'm doing a 2nd taco bell cake for my husband (photo of the first one in my photos). This one is going to be very similar to the first one but I REALLY don't want to freehand the Taco Bell logo onto the top of the cake with a toothpick again. 
So, I'm thinking about doing a FBCT this time. The tutorial says to use a buttery recipe (at least 1/2 butter). Has anyone tried the wilton recipe with 1/2 c butter and 1/2 c crisco - and if so, how did it turn out? If you haven't tried it, does it sound like it would work? Color doesn't matter, since it's going to be dark colors anyway. Any advice helps - especially since I always seem to make things harder than they have to be! thanks!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm delivering this cake tomorrow (10/19) and that it's really important to me that it is very appealing because alot of the big wig corporate folks are going to be there. I'm hoping that if maybe I impress them enough, they might consider ordering cakes from me for other store openings, or something to that effect. So, any ideas / advice for making the logo turn out great, other than freehanding (lol) would be really appreciated! Thanks so much!
I had the same questions on FBCT.
Also, what's everyone's experience with the Wilton black for the outlining? The tutorial says to "use with care" because it sometimes doesn't work right??
I don't know because I haven't tried it. I don't have to do any black outlining on the fbct that I'm doing tonight or I'd tell you how it turned out. I were you, I'd draw a little something as practice and see how it turns out - that way, you have nothing to lose if it gets messed up.... that way you know what to expect!
I use the Wilton recipe and works fine. The only thing I would suggest is to make a final layer on top to make sure that it is thick enough. I did a Dora this past weekend and it was too thin and broke in half! Luckily it was able to be pieced back together! Good Luck!!
