In my experience, using Crisco etc prevents freezing...it's the butter that allows the transfer to freeze completely.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I have used it for cupcakes, and it works wonderfully! Have fun!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

thanks for watching the videos! they are great to make, and its awesome you are watching from mexico! thanks from canada!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

If you don't have a transparency paper, just use a piece of wax paper, but make sure you flip the image on your computer before you print it out. If you want to look for transparency paper, check out any office supply store for them.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@Kezzluvsthewantedx the buttercream recipe i use is a butter, milk, icing sugar and vanilla one...pretty typical. i have not left any FBT in the freezer for longer than an hour, as most of the cakes that i have done this way are due the same day, or the next.

[@testing4echo]

Thank you so much for this video. I've made some great cakes for my family with this process. I appreciate it!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I used to use transparencies because I didn't know how to flip the image on the computer...but if you know how to do that, then you don't need a transparency...just a flipped image on a regular piece of paper.

[@jillpritchard8793]

HOLY COW, THAT’S SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@SARAAMOTIWALA the image was photocopied onto a transparency and then wax paper is put on top of that. ...that way you can see through it to your image below. Transparency paper can be found at any paper supply store.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@rockacookamanga Yes, I have done this in the summer, and yes humidity and heat will affect buttercream. The fact that you are freezing each layer definitely helps in this situation.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

yes, you sure can! you can find the recipe for both buttercream and cream cheese icings on our channel

[@nataliealvarez1267]

I need to make this for my brother-in-law. He will freak out!! Love it!!!

[@kaylanyoungman5517]

Your brother in law is going to laugh if the cake looks like this. Even though she used an actual image of the skull to trace it, it looks no where near the Ax7 logo...

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@appleliciousify125 Yes … You can either use a transparency to-do this or your printer may have a mirror option in its settings.

[@KeOShAsWoRLd]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!!! Excellent job!!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@beanfromex11 lol … Thanks … The music seemed like a good choice at the time …

[@ToBefoREVerxx]

AVENGED SEVENFOLD. OH MY GOD. I JUST DIED

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@Midsummernightseats.....as far as I know, yes, you can use candy melts in the same way. I haven't tried it...yet...but from all the readings I've done on various blogs, you can! Good luck...let me know how it turns out...I'm curious now.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Hahaha! We’re currently in a contest, if you have time VOTE for us to win KZbin’s OnTheRise program. Go to our main page and watch the VOTE video for details!

[@Kinnamon100]

holly crap on a cake! I just stumbled on this. the production of your video's, and even your cakes are so much improved. love it , love your channel.

[@KayleyAnneF]

huge Avenged fan. I wanna Avenged cake!

[@alonsofabiana]

Thank you. Amazing I was thinking on applying the techniques to cupcakes. Thank you so very much.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

you can get it at any office supply store...it's called transparency paper

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

that's a great idea!! thanks for sharing with me!

[@lorriemcox]

I like the music! It's funny and even funnier when it bothers other people! lol

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@gelflingfaysuzanne i haven't tried to do an outline alone....my thought would be that it would be fairly unstable, but if you put enough layers of the outline, and froze it completely, it might work! let me know how it goes.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I actually haven't tried it with SMBC, so if you do, let me know if it works

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks so much! Easy too!!

[@hezah96]

musics quite catchy after a while!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Great!

[@PiatPita]

OMG!!!!! I love avenged sevenfold and I love to cook cakes!!!!! this is perfect!!!! i love it!!!!!

[@Bibyand]

don´t waste your time answering people like this, let them make a fool about themselves. Be a lady (wich i think u are) and let them express freely. Use your talent for positive purposes. Don´t get caught in their games. Salutes from Mexico :D PS. I´ve learned so much from your vids :D tx

[@BlanquishDsf]

love the music

[@sie327]

When the music was starting, i thought i farted

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@gelflingfaysuzanne awesome...glad it worked! thanks for getting back to me...i'm sure i'll use that tip one day!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Thanks!

[@brendabrown9023]

Nice work from what I can see maybe next time you can put your camera on the other side of your hand so that people can really see your step.by.step video instead of looking at the back of your hand

[@Angelwithhorns96]

I saw the A7X at the bottom corner of the screen and squealed! I LOVE A7X!!!!!!

[@HookedOnTrueCrime]

I thought the music was cute. :o) And the logo looks great.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gothamhandley9867]

Nice method. I will have to try that.😁

[@kaylanyoungman5517]

The little smile on the Ax7 skull was adorable and funny. Since this isn't a cartoon character, you've got to a find way to get those details that you see on the image. The skull isn't mostly white, now is it? The boy/girl receiving this is going to find it cringey and lame, I can assure you this (as a 24 year old who loved this band 10 years ago). Thanks for the transfer tips!

[@nelldsouza524]

Awesome work. Keep on doing what you do best and enjoy. Ignore the negative people and their negative comments and Focus only on the positive. Luv ur videos

[@moonbow_9573]

Nell Dsouza I wish more people xould actually be brave enough to say this. I wouldn't because one of the haters could read it and yell at me or something and then I would never comment on anything ever again.

[@moonbow_9573]

*could... sorry

[@tamalaursa]

I do the same thing but with royal icing. Love the video :)

[@minny39]

I love the music its kinda funny too!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I don't know if the icing would come off of that. You always want to make sure that you're using food safe products when working with food.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

interesting...i've never tried to freeze RI...any tips?

[@Fran40Mackintosh]

Fantastic. What a great idea !

[@ajason495]

i like the happy skull face for such a metal band

[@heathercampanelli4333]

Omg! I'm a Deathbat foREVer and my birthday is tomorrow and I wanted an a7x cake but my mom said it would be too hard but she's going to do this for me! I love Avenged Sevenfold!!

[@cahayer]

i don care bout your music, about it looks like, the important is learn it.. tq so much..

[@UrrSkeksAughra]

@CupcakesandCardio Well I did it with a store bought icing and it did ok. It would have been better if i had made my own icing but be that as it may it came out well. I let it freeze all night to make sure it would stick.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

i'm sure you can find a colour that is suitable for your project if you don't like black.

[@FreshBurst9898]

I love the music. It made me laugh! :)

[@crazyrabbitbob]

the...music...is...driving..me...CRAZY!!!!!

[@laurathomas1481]

Good job

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

@taimaotro LOL....sorry!! We used music only in the first couple of videos...if you watch our newest ones, we don't have an "under the big top" feel.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Yes, it needs to stay there until you're ready to put it on the cake.

[@rockacookamanga]

have u ever done this on summer? because where i live its hot and high humidity...it will effect the buttercream...nice job and thanks for sharing this technique

[@Iceinmybatman]

Avenged Sevenfold! Haha you just earned a subscriber ;)

[@amariliscatclaw142]

omg I know I saw it right I love aveged!! this will be my bday cake!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

I would make it the night before...in order to maintain optimal freshness.

[@gabogugu]

wow it came out very awsome

[@isabella9091]

Cool music! Lol

[@kittyloverxD]

THE MUSIC !!!!

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

We have lots of buttercream recipes listed on our channel. Enjoy!

[@mirandamurphy2078]

Love it so much!!!!!!

[@travissmith7471]

Love it. Thank you for sharing

[@noramendoza3514]

Oh yeah! Sevenfold!

[@kazitaslimasayera]

Thanks for you

[@TheBrandeze]

love the tutorial, great job! I was wondering where or how can you make or get that transfer sheet. I am looking to make a monster high cake. thanks

[@amira2757]

Congratulations! Very instructive. What cream do you use? Ingredients, please!

[@a7xvicky]

Nice!

[@uruelpinar1]

I love it

[@elyssadeaguiar3816]

Omg Avenged Sevenfold my favourite band cx

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

thanks!

[@duckyone20]

so it really does work! :D

[@MaheenZahid1]

Also called OHP sheets (over head projector) sheets.

[@shuffletoescee9699]

I want to try this method to make mini stand up grave stones, would they lose shape if not kept in the fridge after putting them on the cake?

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Why not get a grave stone mold and use chocolate? I’ve done the same for a nightmare before Christmas cake I made my nephew

[@Alastor_sasuko]

XD I luv this video XD my favorite band avenged sevenfold XD

[@snowfleas5426]

I loved the video. What is the name of the tune and the group who performs it? I really like the music. I can't see how anyone could be in a bad mood with that playing. Thanks Vicki

[@awesomecupcakes5015]

very coooooooooooool

[@raezielgallegos4413]

are you using which side of the wax paper? the side where it is waxed (shiny side)? or the side which is not waxed (matte side)?

[@caitlinsanders8525]

Everyone is talking about the music being weird and I'm just sitting here dancing. xD lol

[@tamalaursa]

I don't freeze it, I just make the "picture" about a week before I make the cake, so it becomes really hard and than I do the same as you do.

[@rockacookamanga]

@CupcakesandCardio thanks

[@kaylaloveselvis314]

i liked the music...

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

i just use wax paper.

[@ravinrabbit1]

wow

[@1019Penny]

What is the difference between WAX, PARCHMENT or BAKING PAPER. I've used baking paper under my cake before & when i pulled it off it rips some cake off with it, sometime small chunks..... P.S - I'm in Australia so our products may have different names... PLEASE HELP!

[@PeaceLuvPeaceSigns]

omg the music XD LOL

[@kinziemaria9]

A7x is my favorite band

[@RennDiagram]

so is the butter cream just like normal butter cream you put on a victoria sponge? and that freezes and defrosts fine? also, is there a limit to how long you can leave it in the freezer before it goes funny or it starts to get ice crystals form? :)

[@valnoboa]

I was going to make a buttercream with strictly butter this time around instead of using Crisco. I saw on another tutorial that they recommended using half half in order for it to freeze well...What do you recommend?

[@leannesullivan5807]

How long do you recommend you leave the cake for the buttercream to defrost before it's edible?

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

LOL...we don't do that anymore, don't worry :)

[@meganbiles777]

Can you use this for cookies?

[@SARAAMOTIWALA]

Thanks!:)

[@janetmontes7011]

Can I use the same buttercream i would use to cover, fill and decorate cakes n cupcakes.

[@LolitaSurely]

What brand do you use to add color to your buttercream or cream cheese frosting. I am specifically interested in what black gel or food coloring you use to get the frosting really black. I have had bad luck getting it a true black in the past.

[@Cookiescupcakesandcardio]

Maria Martinez For this video, which I made a long time ago, I used Wilton gel paste....I now use Americolor gel paste and find that it works better.

[@snowfleas5426]

Cookies Cupcakes and Cardio I can find Wilton gel paste colours at Michael's and at the Bulk Barn. Where do you find Americolor? I am in Ontario. Thank-you Vicki

[@NaniTikTokAddiction]

snow fleas i think she buys it online

[@eday4290]

Make your icing brown first either by coloring it or using cocoa powder, then add your black. Let it sit for 5 minutes after you stir it, then stir it again. You’ll get a true black.
