Anybody please help me with colorflow and buttercream icing. I tried doing colorflow but the design would either broke or would not come off the wax paper. Another thing, I got a procedure here on buttercream picture transfer and followed it but unfortunately same thing happens, it did not come off the wax paper.

Please help me, I want to do these designs in my cake since its cute. I want to perfect it since this is very useful.

Thanks

The colorflow takes 2-3 days to dry, could that be the problem? Are you making it thick enough?
For the buttercream transfer, well I prefer parchment paper but waxed should work. You have to make it fairly thick, about 1/4 inch is good. Also, I leave them in the freezer for overnight. Then you have to apply it to your cake immediately after removing it from the freezer. An icing using some butter in it works best. What icing are you using?

Thanks Squirrelly Cakes. I dried the colorflow for 2 days. How can I make a thick colorflow especially the border? Some bakeshop here in the Philippines do colorflow and I noticed that its kind of imbosed. How can I make my colorflow imbosed?

For the buttercream, 1/4 inch thick? How can I do that with the border? and what if I am only doing a small picture transfer?

Hoping for another reply from you.

I know that here (Florida, USA) colorflow needs to dry for longer than 2 days, preferably longer than 3-4. I usually try to make mine a week ahead of time. It's all about the humidity. I imagine the Phillipines are pretty similar.

I'll defer to Squirelly's wisdom on the BCT as I've never done one, but I just thought I'd let you know that in humid places the colorflow needs a lot (A LOT!!!) longer to dry!
