Hi
Does anyone know how to make a cake with faces on it...i want to do like a sheet cake with a picture of me and all of my cousins..for my grandmother...i think she would love it, i jsut don't knwo where to start...I know i saw a cake deco book with a picture of a baby done on a cake..it looked amazing..and i know i've seen some elvis and others on the site..i want it in colour not black and white, but as long as i kow how to outline the features i think i could figure out the rest...
Can anyone offer advice?? Thanks sooo much!
Hi, are you talking about doing an edible image or actually creating the picture with frosting?
If you do not have the equipment you can check out your local cake store about making an edible image that you just place on the cake.
If you have lots more talent than I think I do, you could do a piping gel transfer onto the cake and then fill in with frosting or do a frozen buttercream transger. There are tutorials here on this site for both of these methods.
Hopefully, someone with more experience at this sort of thing will reply.

I want to do the transfer...not edible image..but i dont know how to outline features with the piping gel 2 make it look right...
I did some faces with royal icing for cookies.
I did an effect in PhotoShop to bring the faces to 2 colors. Then I printed them out in black and white and covered the sheet with parchment. I lightly outlined and filled in with a light coat of the icing. Once it was dry I put some icing in the cookie then placed the face on top of it. I had to break the icing to get it to conform to the cookie since the faces curled a bit on the paper. After I had them on I retraced them in icing. Sounds like a lot of steps but it wasn't that bad.
No that's not too bad...I dont have photoshop though...Is there any other program that would do that?? Or can i download it from somewhere??
I don't know about any other programs. How many pics do you need? If there aren't too many I can do it for you.
Send me a pm for my email addy.
