What a great demonstration! I this method with freezer paper (that's all I had) and froze for 30 minutes. My dinosaur design came out PERFECT! Thank you so much for this tip! I was dreading piping the dino out on the cake itself, this method is much more forgiving and rids you of the piping lines! My transfer came out looking like a print off!! Thank you Wilton!

The beauty of buttercream is, if it does break use the same colors to 'glue' it back together when you put it on the cake.

Thank you, this is the best demo I've seen for a BC transfer and explained very nicely. And I like how you took your time to smooth out both layers. Most videos I've seen only show the decorator smoothing out the outer lay, so when he/she lays the BC transfer on the cake, the icing does not look very smooth, as if it were piped right onto the cake.

I discovered a wonderful trick. I could not use 1/2 butter as suggested because I needed pure white for my design. Instead, I melted some white chocolate chips and added it to the buttercream frosting. I also melted dark chocolate and added it to the portion I needed to be brown. (I added a bit of extra water as well.) It still piped well. Because chocolate is so hard at room temperature, my design was frozen solid after about 25 minutes! Not to mentioned it tasted delicious.

An easier way of doing this (for those of us who are lazy and dont like tracing) just put the picture on a flatsurface facing up and cover it with the wax paper so u can c the picture and the actual colors without having to trace it.
@jacobmoorhead5018 Жыл бұрын
The image you get icing that way will be flipped opposite to the reference image, just for those who care. (we mirror the image on the back of the paper in order to get it to be facing the same direction as the picture in the end result since we flip the frozen buttercream over). For example, if you use your method for lettering it would be unreadable unless you put it in a mirror to read.

@IcedLipGloss She is actually tracing the image so that she can turn it over and get he reverse/mirror image. You are working on the backside of the image when you fill it in, so you need the reverse/mirror so that when you lay it on the cake, it is actually the original image. Sorry, lots of wording, but did that make sense? I know many people who, when they print the image from the PC, they just have the image reversed so they do not have to do all that this lady did.

To me as a graphic designer/ photographer hobbyist I'd mirror image this before printing it then tape it under the plexiglass. instead of on top then no wax paper then freeze it I'd have to try it though wax paper might still be needed that would remain to be seen.
@AnimaSola3o49 жыл бұрын
But if someone doesn't have plexiglass they're likely to use a cookie sheet, which you cannot see through. Also, if you don't use the wax paper, how are you going to get it off the plexiglass and onto the cake?

IF YOU USE A KITCHEN AID STAND MIXER ( RECOMMENDED) YOU THE FLAT BEATER, NOT THE WIRE WHIP.......YOU DO NOT WANT TO ADD AIR TO THE ICING..

Parchment paper would work as a surface but wax paper is much more transparent so you can see better to trace the lines and such. I put my wax paper right on top of the design I was making so it was just one step and I could see colors.
