I've done frozen buttercream transfers but I've seen all kinds of posts regarding chocolate transfers. Are they basically done the same way?

With chocolate transfers you spread the melted chocolate on the transfer or place the transfer inside your chocolate mold and then the chocolate hardens you peel off the transfer backing (kind of like a sticker) and the image is "printed" on your chocolate. I use these frequently for chcolates, they are an easy way to add a lot of style.

I think the OP is referring to the chocolate transfers you create by outlining and filling in an image or logo. This is very much like a FBCT only on a smaller scale.

I think what AmyCakesNCandies is referring to are the images on acetate sheets that get transferred to melted chocolate then used as sheets or discs.

pmarks0, there are lots of threads discussing chocolate transfers. I'll try and find one I participated in a while back - it had a document posting with it.

Thanks for the link.

I was referring to the kind that are similar to a FBCT. But it's good to know about the other kind as well.

Thanks.

Yes, they work just the same way except BETTER because the chocolate sets and won't smoosh around like buttercream and then you can pick up the piece and set it wherever you want, even stick it straight up. The only thing is you wouldn't want to do a whole solid cake top scene (like a FBCT) cause it will be difficult to cut through.

Thanks KoryAK.
