How to Create a Frozen Buttercream Transfer

[ibringmayflowers]

the best thing ive seen :) but what im wondering is if i cant fit my whole desighn into the freezer(im not the only one who lives in this house) if i can do in different parts like the head, body arms legs and then put them together on the cake??

hi.. can i use the buttercream from the store or make my own for the tranfer? thanks and lovely job

[germangirlwithcurls]

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.

Hi, what are the sizes of these different tips? Also, where could I get icing bags from?

[ibringmayflowers]

@Kezzluvsthewantedx michaels or walmart u can get tips and bags there. Michaels has more..I work there lol

OMG YES This woman actually knows what she's doing unlike that idiot on Bake Decorate Celebrate.

why cant we just use the wax paper and trace the piping gel over the actual image?

[Prettychicateen]

@IcedLipGloss yea that's sooo much easier. this lady makes it all complicated

[germangirlwithcurls]

@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.

Just wondering what do you do when the transfer breaks as i could tell that the turtles neck broke

[jailedan]

@SuperKcourts i think what i would do is pipe the corrections on the cake as best as i could.. ..

[SuperKcourts]

@jailedan thank you

[mojoribs]

when u cut it the cake wouldnt that part be like hard??

[dizzymaiden]

I did a humming bird with a flower. Pretty but did not remember to reverse picture. Oh well...next time.

Would you be able to use the candy melts for this instead of the buttercream?

[slsrox1298]

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.

i like turtles.

[MyWeezylover]

wow you gotta use a fake cake

[Justssaying]

@MyWeezylover why fake?

[MyWeezylover]

@Justssaying idk thats what they used.

[jailedan]

@MyWeezylover its common to use fake cakes when practicing cake decorating.. it's to save time :)

[PinkMilkCarton]

Is the pencil you used to trace the image food safe?

[tammiphillips]

@PinkMilkCarton The pencil doesnt come in to contact with the icing whatsoever so it shouldn't matter.
