How do I make a logo to put on a buttercream iced cake? Colorflow will break down and that's all I know the logo is pretty simple just cursive writin I'm sure is simple but will be hard but better than a whole bunch of tiny little details.

Try a buttercream transfer. Here is a link to the instructions. Make sure the text is a mirror image so that it will be in the correct direction when placing on the cake.

I make a copy of the logo and enlarge to the size I need and then laminate it in case I need it again! Then I make candy clay (I like it better than fondant) in the color I need, roll it out to the size I need; then cut around the logo put in the details and lay it on the cake. I have a picture of a school logo that I did in my gallery, but, used rice krispies to give it a 3D look!

I would either do a FBCT or a CT. I think at this point I like CT's better, but it would depend on the style and size.
