Chocolate Transfers V. Colorflow
Decorating By cb_one Updated 21 Mar 2007 , 7:02pm by springlakecake
I have a B-Day cake that i'm doing for a customer and she wants a Spring theme. It's on April 15 so I have a little time. I was thinking of doing something with some pastel colors and some Butterflies cascading up the side of the cake.
The cake will probably be iced in Buttercream.
I haven't used Colorflow before, but the colors look a little more vivid that the CT.
Anybody have any exp. with both?
I love both and colorflow works great when doing cookies. As far as using colorflow for making items on a cake, I have not tried. My initial thought is that the colorflow might be too thin and crack. Chocolate transfers turn out thicker and... maybe the word I am looking for is "stable".
You could do either, but I am personally a big fan of chocolate transfers. I dont know if I would ever do another color flow again. I think the colors can be very vivid. I think what helps is to do them on something shiny (I use a plastic report cover). They end up much more shiny and vivid than if you did it on wax or parchment. Here is one I did with butterflies (I also have a lot of other CT's in my gallery too, if it helps you to know that they can be vivid)
