Dawn,
Thank you for sharing your step by step article on Frozen Buttercream transfer. 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.

Step 7 of your instructions said to smooth the back while gently pushing without blending your colors underneath. 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.

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. Very Happy

Ok. I think I understand. I guess I actually need to practice the actual transfer first.

Can I use parchment paper or do I have to use wax paper? What's the difference between the two?

Then I think I will go with wax paper. Thanks!

Step 1 Instructions state: 1. Choose a graphic image and print it out in reverse/mirror image.


How do I print it out in reverse/mirror image? Confused

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.

I am not sure I understood this part of it...

7. 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?

Does the Von's fudge icing come in a tube? If so do you use their tube or do you transfer to your own icing bag and tip?
