How to Create a Frozen Buttercream Transfer

Have you ever wondered how to get an image on your cake top? A Frozen Buttercream Transfer is an easy method of transferring your art to a frosted cake, without the use of an edible printer. It is like making a plaque from icing, freezing it and applying the design to your 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.

@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.

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

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

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

[IcedLipGloss]

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