how about a fbct?

Personally I would do it NON-edible.
print out on paper and enclose in press-N-seal plastic wrap. Don't have PNS? then use regular plastic cling wrap.

Use the lightbox method. I explain it here: http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-641963-.html

Can you find a local bakery or grocery store that will print the edible image up for you? You can always add the expense to the customer's invoice.

I would be glad to print it for you if you pay shipping.

It's hard to freehand in a little spot like that, so what about freehanding on a little rectangle of fondant that you can just attach when you are done? This way you can easily re-do it if you need to...

I would do a melted chocolate transfer. Similar to the Frozen buttercream, except you don't freeze it.

Works great!!

So, dawn...got lots of good ideas here. Did you ever see any of these responses? What did you end up doing, seeing as how cake is due tomorrow?
