Never done one, do you use the same process as an FBCT?
As far as heat, which do you think would hold up better?
I have a cake to do in June I want to use them on. It is an outdoor event under a tent.

Thanks

The chocolate cake in my photos is choc transfer, I think that is what it is called. Piped reversed then filled in with white choc.

Choc can be a problem at probably 75 degrees or above

What kind of decoration are you trying to make?

Maybe royal icing would be an option?

What will be the temp at the event?

Can somebody tell me what a chocolate transfer is? I have read on CC that a lot of people do this technique. And the outcome is fabulous. I would love to learn more about it and how it is done.

TIA!

Are you talking about chocolate transfer sheets? I use chocolate transfers on most of my cakes, and so far haven't had any problems with temperature.

If you would like directions on how to use transfer sheets, PM me. I do have a few photos posted of a couple of my cakes with transfer sheets.

Since you mentioned FBCT, I think this is the kind of chocolate transfer you're talking about. Yes?
