How To Create a Frozen Buttercream Transfer Dawn Griffin was kind enough to create a step-by-step article with very detailed photos.

I tried it today and couldn't believe how well it worked. It has a very professional finish. My question is how long can I leave the transfer in the freezer? I'm putting it on a cake this Saturday. Would it be better if I stored it in a box to get hard? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure I understand. If we are piping icing on the front, how do we smooth the back? This may be a dumb question but I can't visualize smoothing the back if you piped icing on the front. montanakate Frequent Member Joined: Feb 07, 2005 Posts: 262 Location: Montana Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 6:10 pm  I just posted a picture of my first frozen buttercream transfer using Dawn's tutorial (it's of a little lion) I was really happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for the help, can't wait to try another one. tcturtleshell Forum SuperStar!

I guess I actually need to practice the actual transfer first.

What's the difference between the two?

How do I print it out in reverse/mirror image? It is something under printer properties, possibly under advanced options. File>Print>Properties...now each printer may be different some it's under an advanced tab, some it's under an options tab. And the choice will either be reverse or mirror image- it means to print the image backwards.

When you have finished coloring in your graphic, smooth the back while gently pushing without blending your colors underneath. This will settle your frosting into the grooves and create a smooth finished project. How do you flip it over to smooth it out without messing up your work? Are you smoothing it on the wax paper or the icing? Apieceofcake2 Newbie Joined: Mar 30, 2005 Posts: 6 Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 10:31 am  I understand now. Thank you.

If so do you use their tube or do you transfer to your own icing bag and tip?
