Pabst Blue Ribbon Cake

The request was for a Pabst Blue Ribbon cake.  (And last minute I might add.)  Not much time to think about ideas.  What should I do? 

A beer can cake? No, just not feeling it.

How about trying a frozen buttercream transfer (FBCT for short)?   I think so. 

The concept is pretty simple.  Pipe the buttercream in a reverse image on wax paper.  Freeze.  Frost cake as usual.  Place FBCT on top of cake and peel off wax paper.  Voila!

I added a red stripe on the top of the cake before placing the FBCT.  I cracked the B because the cake was not perfectly smooth I guess.  But after the FBCT thawed I was able to smooth it over and you couldn't even tell!   I think it came out pretty sharp...

and...

I think a found a new favorite technique!  Next time I'll try to take more pictures.
