Royal Icing Transfer Tips | 3 Ways to Use Up the Same Royal Icing Consistency | Fail Friday Ep. 40

[@jesusistheonlywaytothefath9020]

I never would've thought to use magnets to keep the paper still so that is a very helpful tip too! Thanks so much!

[@Im-wk6vw]

I would like to make some of these for cupcake toppers, will the color bleed into the icing?

[@bluegreen3870]

Such a good tip 😍, since I'm not confident with my written skills.

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Doing this technique will also help you so much with practice too! 🥰

[@Sarahmelll]

Can i put my icing transfers in the refrigerator to dry faster???

[@breezep.7693]

Good tip using left over icing!

[@ashleystevens6625]

You mentioned your using icing from an old project, how long can you store icing in a sealed container placed in the refrigerator before making transfers?( meringue powder recipe)

[@KWmsChildOfGod]

❤ excellent!

[@clraffell]

Do you have to use oven or dehydrator or can you leave them to dry?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

You certainly don’t have to. I didn’t use either for years, BUT I would get rippling and my dark colours would bleed. It also took me a full day for cookies to be fully dried (enough to stack) through and through. Using the oven or dehydrator just speeds it up and has those other benefits as well 😊

[@clraffell]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe yes, of course when you are doing it as a business. How long do you keep them in the oven and at what temperature please?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

@@clraffell 175 degrees F for approximately 10 minutes for every layer of wet icing.

[@clraffell]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Thanks so much, I just did some with success! I really appreciate you! X

[@michelewells85]

Can you please share the royal icing recipe you used for this? Also, can I use egg white instead of meringue powder? Thanks!

[@craftylilyn7919]

I actually used a blower to dry my decorated cookies. It also worked. It was for experiment since i dont have a dehydrator.

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Yes! I've heard of some people doing this as well. You can also use your oven in place of a dehydrator :)

[@craftylilyn7919]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe sure. Im glad i found your channel.it taught me more techniques for cookie decorating.

[@farihaalam7760]

Can you make and freeze decortations like this in advance?

[@Slaysoulsiser]

Could I use these as cake/cupcake decorations? Like for example, make lots of eyes for faces and store in air tight container for later use? Or hearts, stars, etc kind of like sprinkles? Or do you think buttercream transfers are better? I just like the idea of making them ahead of time, TIA! Love your channel!!!!

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

You sure can!! I do it all the time 🥰

[@victoriaguerra4639]

This is a great idea! If I were to make these, and didn’t need them for about 2 days, how do I store them?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Just in room temp in a container will work great! 💕

Royal icing recipe plz 😊

Awesome tips! Thank you 👑

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

You're welcome my dear!! :)

[@rawanaljehani9254]

I have a question please, can I decorate by royal icing on parchment paper in large space??. For example, I want to print a large heart shape and fill it with royal icing and make another layer. The reason why, I love decorating by R.I but I don't want to bake cookies. I saw a lot of transferring ideas but all of them are small pieces. I hope you understanding what I mean, and I apologize if my message is too long.

[@lamirada90638]

Can I use lemon extract? Are they edible after they harden?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

You totally can! And yes--they're edible even after they've hardened :)

[@lamirada90638]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you!

[@jesusistheonlywaytothefath9020]

Yeah my oven is waaaay off...like at least 25° give or take a couple so if something is supposed to bake at 350° we set it on 325°.

[@lamirada90638]

My royal icing transfers keeps sticking to the parchment paper is there a reason for that? Also should I use a little shortening on the parchment paper before piping the decoration?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Could be due to the fact that it hasn’t dried fully. Once it’s fully dried it doesn’t even need much to peel off 🥰

[@lamirada90638]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you☺️

[@sharadapawar649]

Hi can I dry it? And if yes then for how much time? And can I use royal icing to cover my cake?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

You can dry it just by leaving it out or you can dehydrate it in an oven or dehydrator. I personally wouldn’t recommend covering a cake with royal icing 🥰

[@craftylilyn7919]

Did you use parchment paper for tranfer? I tried it once but the royal icing cracked when i was trying to detached it from the parchment paper.

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I did! Sometimes if you thicken up your lines just a bit more than it prevents cracking :)

[@craftylilyn7919]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thanks! Maybe my icing before was close to flood consisteny.so it dried in the paper.

[@lamirada90638]

How long do they last? How do I store then???

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

They'll last A LONG time. If it's just for your consumption, you could easily leave them for up to a year.

[@mariascorner4902]

What font did you use? I would like to personalize mine

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I randomly selected a pre-made Valentine’s banner. I’m sure you could find something similar though!

[@nikkireed4281]

What paper are you using?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

Parchment paper ☺️

[@cathychats]

I didnt know you should bake them? I'm nee to this 😅

Yes! To dry them more quickly

[@praiselo.6512]

Can't I put it in the fridge? Instead of an oven? 🤔

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

No it needs the heat! Some fridges also have moisture and you don’t want that mixing with your royal icing. :)

[@praiselo.6512]

@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you 😊

[@o0oMysticdragono0o]

why did they crack?

[@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe]

I learned that if I put them in while the oven is preheating it does that. Too much surge of heat!
