Help, please,

I want to "draw" an embroidery design to place on a cake. I need to draw the design first, on what? I need to be able to lift the finished drawing off the paper to place it on the cake. I was wondering if parchment paper would be better than wax paper. Or, any other suggestions for paper.

Thank you, LaPazLady

I found that waxpaper will stick to some things, but have yet found that parchment paper sticks to anything! I love parchment!

Parchment paper is a gift from God! icon_biggrin.gif

I actually use butchers wrap which is a clear plastic sheet. I've never known any type of icing stick to it

Over here, butchers wrap is heavy white paper with a slick coating on it. I use it to cover most of my cake boards and when I do drop flowers/color flow, etc. icon_smile.gif Works great!

I use Wilton's non-stick parchment paper...it doesn't stick! In fact, it comes off very easily. Other parchment papers do stick so I only use Wilton now.

ChrisJ, no parchment paper for baking should stick as it is treated with silicone to stop sticking. I buy in bulk at Costco, three rolls in a package and have never had a problem with it.
Was there a specific brand you had an issue with?
