I have several transfers to put on cupcakes, and they won't release from the backing. What's the best way to get them off? icon_cry.gif

Are they colorflow? FBCT? I usually do my colorflow on saran wrap so that it won't stick. taking it to the edge of the countertop and pulling the wrap downward might work. If all else fails use an exacto knife to cut around your transfer and place on teh cupcakes... they just won't be edible. Sorry I am such little help!

Here is info from Chapter 2 of the edible image article here on CC:

Frosting sheet wont release from the backing.
The frosting sheet needs longer to dry.
You can speed up this drying process by using a blow dryer. To do this, gently hold the

frosting sheet at one corner and blow dry in a slow side to side motion. Pay special
attention to areas heavily saturated with ink.
Another method is to place the frosting sheet in the freezer for 10-15 seconds which will

release the sheet from the backing.
Rolling the plastic backing across the sharp edge of a table might also help to release the
frosting sheet.
