can a fbct be made to stand up on a cake like a color flow design can?


just curious - i am not good at all at doing color flow, but the fbct is much more easier for me - i just wanted to be able to make it stand up on the cake....

No. Once the icing thaws it is just like any other buttercream. It won't hold it's shape to stand up on a cake.

You can use the same idea and use candy melts. I have done choc. transfers like this alot and they stand up just fine.

Yup, I would do chocolate transfers or color flow instead. I really prefer chocolate transfers though. I have many in my photos to give you an idea.

Your chocolate transfer are great!! Could you share how you make them and what you make them on? I am going to attempt a FBCT next week for a moms night out but want to learn the chocolate transfers as well.

Thanks

I make mine on a clear plastic report cover. That way the image turns out shiney (vs. matte finish) But it is a personal preference. my second choice would be parchment. I also use colored candy melts, just much easier than coloring them myself. Again a personal preference. I use parchment triangles to pipe the design. i found this works best for me, but you can do it in a variety of ways. Let me know if you have more questions.
