UGA Logo      CakeCentral.com Forum Index » Cake Ideas Author Message Rachie204 Regular Member Joined: Sep 23, 2009 Posts: 108 Location: Georgia Birthday: Apr 14 Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:43 pm  I need to add a University Of Georgia Logo to a cake and was wondering what would be the best way to do this. I would like to place the Logo ontop of grass piped with the grass tip. What would work best? TIA. paula1234 Junior Member Joined: Mar 11, 2007 Posts: 59 Location: some where in ga Birthday: Jan 02 Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 7:54 pm  what about a chocolate transfer of UGA the bulldog. He could be standing up if uou put a lollipop stick on back of him. My boys Dad graduated from UGA school of pharmacy. TheDomesticDiva Frequent Member Joined: Jul 30, 2007 Posts: 474 Location: D.C.

I Love your transfer. I am in Georgia as well & people love their Dawgs!!! kjt Forum Addict Joined: Aug 15, 2005 Posts: 829 Location: North Georgia Birthday: Feb 24 Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 5:53 pm  Hi Rachie, and welcome to CC Run sugar is a technique where you use stiff RI to outline an image, then thin the RI and flood inside the outline. Wilton makes a product called Colorflow, that's basically RI mix. If you search colorflow here (or probably even google it) you will get the full instructions. It's a technique that I use often; the downside it the drying time (2-3 days depending on the humidity- and you know how THAT varies ), and coloring lots of tiny bowls of icing! For the dawg logo, you would only need three colors, of course!

You don't have to use the Wilton product, you can use RI-however if you are beginning, it's helpful to have exact measurements until you get a "feel" for the technique. It's really versatile- several of the cakes in my gallery have run sugar pieces-Dora & Super Why are two that I can think of right this minute. You should try it y'all! kjt Forum Addict Joined: Aug 15, 2005 Posts: 829 Location: North Georgia Birthday: Feb 24 Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 6:10 pm  Don't be put off by the instructions-they seem really long, but step-by-step they aren't really complicated. I put my image(printed out or drawn on copy paper) inside a plastic page protector. That way I don't have to fool with taping wax paper over it, then I tape the whole page onto a hard-back cookbook or the back of a sheet pan-anything that will keep it flat. And hello amberkw-yep Goooo Dawgs-sic 'em! edited for stupid spelling errors Rachie204 Regular Member Joined: Sep 23, 2009 Posts: 108 Location: Georgia Birthday: Apr 14 Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 6:19 pm  KJT~ Thank you! I have heard of color flow...and have some wilton that I have never used....although it may be old. Thanks again wrightway777 Frequent Member Joined: Jan 11, 2008 Posts: 381 Location: Georgia Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 7:48 pm  Go dawgs! I'm in GA too. Matter of fact i have two bulldogs myself! kjt - love the spikes you did on the collar. I forgot that trick of the page protector - thanks for the memory boost. tenleysmommy - awesome transfer! Oops on the G on his hat.
