When I did my first one, I thought the same thing, and yes, when I smoothed it out some did smear, but not so much that you can tell. I did another onwe the other day and I let it crust alittle first, then gentley smoothed it out and it worked way better! Also, I noticed that the logo has sort of a cream outline, maybe try outlinging it in that color? Just a suggestion, hth. Good luck!

I know I think that might benefit me some I will make the cake about the same color to blend in the outline of the logo but then if I get red outside the line that's what I'm afraid of I guess quit being afraid and try it thanks for the tip

How do I print this logo in reverse or mirror image I checked and I can't find anything on my computer or am I doing this wrong?

When you print the image it should give you a "options" or a "preference" button click it and choose mirror image.

Is there anyplace on this site that explains what all these initials are? I can't for the life of me figure out what FBCT is.

I believe FBCT is Frozen Butter Cream Transfer. I'm still new to this and sometimes the acronyms get to me too! icon_smile.gif

I find that if I make it thin I get less of the squiggles and wiggles in the finished product.
