I did pics from Beauty & the Beast, 101 Dalmations, Ninja Turtles, Where's Waldo, Minnie Mouse, Elmo,.....to name just a few.
They were in no way professional, but they did turn out well if I do say so myself. People told me to do it semi-professionally, but as my kids got older and the more I did, it was just too much work to do it for anything other than fun for my kids. I did a few for my grand-daughter also, but have since retired from cake decorating. It's so much easier to buy one from the store. | Wow! That's impressive! Thanks for the idea about the tracing. That will help with our Father's Day cake.
