I wanted to make a suitcase cake and saw one that had a pattern similar to some of the designer purse patterns........I found some chocolate transfer sheets with a plaid pattern. I was thinking of covering the cake in ganache and using the transfer sheets for the design on the cake (to make it look like a plaid suitcase.

Can you use transfer sheets this way? Lay the transfer sheet on the ganache, rub it and hopefully when I left off the transfer sheet, the pattern will have transfered.

I have only seen people spread metled chocolate onto the transfer sheets but not rub the pattern onto a cooled surface.

I'm curious too, so I'm gonna bump ya up!

Me Too!!
Bump!

Bump!

I am tempted to jsut buy some sheets and try it out. I found a site with a pretty good selection and the prices are good.....compared to others I have come across....about $2-3 per sheet and you have to buy a minimum of 5 five sheets. That's not tooo bad. If it doesn't work, hubby can eat the practice cake!

I went back and looked at some of the Sugar Rush shows I have recorded and some guy who made candies took a transfer sheet and rub it over the chocolate candies, lifted the transfer sheet and each candy had a design. I think the candies were like truffles with a hard chocoalate shell.

I have not tried but I will say no. The acetate sheets count on the chocolate hardening so it remove from the sheet. Ganache says soft and sticky and never really hardenes for it to remove from it. My Guess.

Can you use chocolate transfer sheets with white chocolate tinted a burgundy would the burgandy show through.

This is what a customer wants me to do with her wedding cake. Is it hard to do on fondant.

I am really nervous about this what site did you find the sheets at??

here's where I found some transfer sheets. I emailed a question about using the transfer sheets and I got a very quick response. You might try and email your questions.
