Character Cakes with Buttercream Transfers

[@susanheld]

My daughter made a last-minute request for a red panda on her birthday cake and I used this technique. It came out super cute and I got lots of compliments! Thanks!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much, Susan! Love your enthusiasm!!

[@traceybrenneman2291]

I love this! I have never used fondant and really don't know that I want to, but I like the versatility that this allows. Thank you!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Yay! You're welcome!

[@momseffortjamila6955]

Very cute cake, you explain things so well thank you.

[@ayeshaarif8102]

Great tutorial. 👍 does this technique work with swiss meringue BC too? Or it just goes with ABC?

[@jdjgyfuggg4370]

niceee !! can we use this technique on a creme chantilly cake frosting?

[@himane9590]

Hi I’m a new watcher here! 😊 This is an amazing trick! 😍 Thank you so much! My Birthday is on the coming 24th & I’m gonna try one with a Princess character maybe! 🙈🤩 Can I please know whether this still works on Butter frosting cakes? Does this detailing icing got a special recipe?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Happy birthday! I used my 4 Minute Buttercream which is a butter-based frosting (recipe on www.britishgirlbakes.com) and used the same frosting with different colours for the design

[@Buntyscakebox]

Can I use this trick over fresh cream cakes. Thanks 😊

[@migdaliarodriguez4069]

Realmente hermoso 🤩, gracias x compartir tus conocimientos🙏🏻

[@lorrainehicks9172]

Another great idea. I'm going to try this as soon as I can. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking

[@JulieMLewis]

If you have something clear like plexiglass, put the image on it so you can check the progress. Question, how do keep it from cracking when frozen and putting on the round cake?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

By the time you've spread the final colour onto the design, the rest of the design will have thawed and softened so it will be flexible enough to wrap around the cake without cracking :)

[@kathyannmonroe9019]

Unbelievable.Thank you for taking the time to explain every detail you are doing. God bless you. Continue the good work. Excellent

[@BritishGirlBakes]

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

[@merakilous21]

This is amazing! How soon in advance can I make it? Can I store it in the freezer until ready to transfer?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Yes you can! Just take it out about 30 minutes before you use it and let it warm up to room temperature so it softens before you wrap it around the cake.

[@loriepingol3610]

Thank you so much for this wonderful ideas!

[@jamessilverthorn2320]

Thanks for the advice

[@asugarholicslife]

This is so cool! I'm going to have to try this!

[@shikhaserene]

Did u chilled dinosaur too before sticking?

[@BritishGirlBakes]

No, the buttercream needs to be soft and sticky so that it attaches to the cake

[@Siriuslyyy]
