That's correct. You usually don't see much of the impression in the cake anyway. Follow the picture and use a little more icing or a second layer (if doing stars) where portions of Bob are raised. You might want to first outline with a tip 3 and then fill it in. Sometimes I have the do the outline once again to make the picture look more clear. After you have done several character pans, you will probably see that you really don't need to buy the special pan. You can carve out the shapes fairly easy and just follow a picture. Good luck!
the only time i did a charater pan cake I didnt crumb coat i just used the star tip but first I used the black to kind've outline everything then filled in w/the star tip GL
I've never crumb coated a character pan cake. I don't think the instructions ever say to and the whole things is covered with stars pretty much anyway.
