New to decorating and seen some childrens cakes with cartoon characters done on chocolate transfer sheets. How is this done. Can you buy these patterns or do you draw the charachters yourself? Thanks!

Hi reina926. Welcome to CC!

I have not seen licensed cartoon characters on chocolate transfer sheets (but that doesn't mean they don't exist!) However, I have seen people use edible image sheets, both rice paper and frosting sheets with characters. Is there any chance it might have been one of those?

If you think so, there are two excellent tutorials about edible images and how to use them in the "Articles" section on this site.

If it was a chocolate transfer, this site has a tutorial on their use:
