[@savetimeless8460]

This is basically a variation of a frozen buttercream transfer. If you print out the letters/design in mirror image instead, then you can freeze your finished design, and just flip it over and place it directly on the cake where you want it instead of trying to lift it off the wax paper and place it on the cake, which is problematic and has a high potential for breakage, especially with something delicate like letters. Overall nice idea, and workable with chocolate.

[@NerissaNikole]

I will do this, thank you!

[@505giraffe]

How do you print in mirror image?

[@bakegrainsofhope8934]

Yes please share how we can print the letterings in mirror image. Thanks so much in advance.

[@lisamcclure7]

May I make a suggestion? Flip your pan over, print out 2 of your design and tape to the pan, then wax paper over top. You won’t have to transfer to the pan, risking messing up your design.

[@NerissaNikole]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ck1782]

I don't understand what you're saying

[@mimissweetandsavorylife3294]

@@ck1782she means to flip the sheet pan over so it’s upside down. This raises the surface to write on after you’ve taped the lettering to the bottom of the sheet pan to trace over. And it’s less of a risk of breaking your chocolate lettering by just keeping it on the pan to set. Does that help?

[@overit21]

Thanks for that, I didn’t understand either. Now I get it, so you can put it straight into your fridge without lifting the wax paper onto the pan. Great tip, thanks.

[@kitastringer9023]

Great idea. Scrape your chocolate back in a bowl verses wiping it off with a towel. I kept screaming ching ching ching in the trash 🤣🤣

[@olat1273]

I just found you i have never seen anything like this you go for it girl I love you sweetie you get the cake done you go to talking about your family and take hours to make the cake you so so great 😀 i will be watching you from now on i can watch you ever day i enjoyed it sooo much

[@dsego1183]

I would also suggest printing your message in mirror image. Also trace the words on separate pieces of wax paper so when you trace it with the chocolate and go to transfer it onto your cake you don’t have to handle the words. You just flip the chocolate side onto the cake and carefully peel back the wax paper. You might find you have better control of the placement as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@NerissaNikole]

I will definitely do this! I will have to update this video, that's a great idea!

[@sexonfeetndc]

Can I use non-stick aluminum foil?

[@dsego1183]

@@sexonfeetndc I think the only reason I would not use foil is because you could run the risk of the foil breaking your pieces. I would recommend parchment or wax paper only. I wouldn’t use a ziplock bag either because it’s not sturdy enough.

[@buddyholly4672]

@@sexonfeetndc I'm going to say no because the foil just bends and doesn't peel away even if its non stick. You're more likely going to break your chocolate in multiple places.

[@janetcarson5408]

You wouldn’t be able to see the writing through the foil, either.

[@GoMommaGo]

My tip would be to get a piping bag and tip. you will have better control of the flow of the chocolate for prettier lettering🙂

Sorry just a little bit of a heads up, I wouldn't dare to waste any of the chocolate by wiping it away with a tissue or whatever.

[@janicekennedy2047]

What type of food coloring did you use, gel, or the cheapy food colors that come in the little boxes?

[@NerissaNikole]

I have started using only the gel food coloring. It seems like the other changes the consistency too much. Gel all the way!

[@tjo1976]

So I know that the wax paper is used because it is nonstick but I noticed you were still having a little bit of trouble peeling off the lettering and I'd be afraid I would break them in the process. I'm wondering if it would work to spray the wax paper with just a little bit of oil so the paper will come away a little bit easier?

[@mapulahaidymashaba217]

Either will work perfectly. Both will cool and be solid again, and that's what we want.

What kind of food coloring did you use? Because gel food coloring makes the chocolate seize. I’ve tried several things but no luck so far. Thanks!

[@conniekiers9554]

This melted chocolate chip idea works great for outlining a cute design for a child's birthday cake...same thing .... Find a picture that you want (a castle, characters like the Paw Patrol pups , a puppy or kitten, a farm animal, a fish, a tractor, a ninja, a car, a hockey team's logo, a cute cottage, complete with doors & windows & pathway...whatever you like) and just trace over the lines on the picture. Chill the pattern on the FREEZER till it is really solid. Than instead of lifting it off, just flip the waxed paper onto the top of the cake, with the pattern next to the cake and peel the waxed paper off. The design will stay in place. Then pipe in buttercream with a small star tip to fill in the pattern...I have done Elsa from Frozen, Skye and Everest from Paw Patrol a race car, an excavator, hammers and saws, graduation caps and diplomas with this method...the pattern will just be reversed once it's placed onto the cake

Buttercream won't harden enough to lift easily. If it is frozen solid, maybe, but I would use royal icing or chocolate to lift it up like this
