Hey yall

I am doing my first FBCT tonight of lightning Mcqueen!! icon_smile.gif Can someone tell me what tip to use to outline and then what tips are better for filling in??
I am super nervous! One last thing I am making my own BC frosting what do you think about using the ready made decorating icing by wilton for the red or black(2 colors I hate making)....

Ok so the Outline should be a medium consistency? and the filling a thiner consistency? Right guys?

Thank you Thank you !!

Christine

Thank you for the help!
I had a slight emergency when it cracked in half! But I squished it together and repaired with a brush.lol Talk about time consuming. I think I did "OK" for a first FBCT and CCC. Ill try it again one day for sure. Maybe this time for family to practice a bit

That looks really great!! I'm also doing my first one tomorrow! I'm kinda excited, but nervous at the same time, but you have made me feel so much better about it.

I think you did a great job!

Thank you!

I would definately have a small brush on hand to try and smooth out any little lines.

You can do it!!
