YOU will never know until you try!  And if it isn't what you like, then try the edible print.  But you will always wonder if you could have done it.  I would try, what the heck you have nothing to lose but so much more to gain!

I'm a betting person and I am going to place my bet on you and the frozen buttercream transfer!  Have fun!

Your options are colorflow; FBCT; or edible print.

To be *exactly* like the 'real thing' your best bet is  an EP.

I have to be honest, this week I've been working on a cake and design for Saturday.  And when I wrote my posting above I knew I was going to make a bc transfer.  I took my own advice!

 

Oh my gosh, I have to say that last night I did my very first bc transfer and today I will be finishing up my cake.  My transfer has details and letter both large and small.  I thought it would be a hard project but to my amazement it was so much fun!  My husband was watching me saying it was looking great.  I did take picture of each step.  This morning I looked at it!  So hang on and be patient, I will post it today.

You could do a less detailed frozen transfer and then "paint" in the finer details with a very thin buttercream.  I did some detail work on a baby shower with thinned frosting.  I blocked in the larger colors and then "painted" in the details with the frosting using small paint brushes.

 

Good Luck!

Great advice.  I will try that too.  I was following the BC Video instructions on our site at this CWB link:
