I am doing a cake for the birthday celebration this year and I want to take the logo and do something like the Marine logo on this cake:

Any ideas how I can do this and make it look FABULOUS?

BCT or an edible image... though an edible image may seem to simple...

it would be fantastic as a chocolate transfer... you could use luster dust to get gold effects...

Both are great ideas, I'm really interested in the chocolate transfer idea and I may do the wheat stalks out of fondant.

Does anyone have any good places where I can learn about chocolate transfers?

ive done something similar with a marine cadet logo. i ended up doing the color flow method on a large sugar cookie, you could also do it on a GP plaque so they could keep it.

I guess I would do it out of color flow or royal. I did a giant coaster for a beer mug cakes and I took the image layed it out to print to the size I wanted. You could lay a piece of acetate and trace over the design.

It was fun to do. The Bass ale mug that is! The entire coaster is royal.

i agree. its easier to pipe royal than warm melted chocolate in my opinion.

That exact cake that you posted the picture of was done in rolled fondant. I don't see why you couldn't do the emblem you are wanting to use in fondant also. Or even molding chocolate. thumbs_up.gif
