I'm so happy with my first chocolate transfer. I learned all about it from this site, and every post was extremely helpful! This cake is a 14" square, so the Shrek CT is about 12.5" long, and 9" tall. This took me a few hours, but I think it was worth it. It takes me about the same amount of time to make a batch of FBCT, tint it, and make the transfer, but with the CT it's hard so I don't have to worry about it breaking. And I can manipulate it a bit once it's on the cake.
While I was trying new things, I added the contemporary basketweave to the sides, which I also liked. The cake is all buttercream, and the letters and molded "3" (complete with Shrek ears) are MMF.
thanks so much!
(sorry this post was submitted twice, somehow!) 
The CT looks great.
Looks great! I've always wanted to try a FBCT but have never really understood it....I'm just nervous to try it. But after looking at your CT I am inspired!!!!!

Thanks so much, everyone!
Michelegator - I like FBCT, but I never could quite get the hang of eliminating the "worm" look - the visible lines where the tip filled in the icing. With CT you don't have that problem. There are a few downfalls - they won't be able to cut right through this cake - I made the CT kinda thick, so they'll have to break it up. Also, I used wax paper and like some said in other posts, the wax paper leaves a few little creases here and there. But overall I was very happy with the process and results.
That is so beautifully done! Can't believe that is your first one!
Well, I figured if I was going to try one, it might as well be a good size. I had this Shrek cake coming up, so I wanted to try it out.
