I do the same as irisinbloom. I find it easier to use plastic wrap instead of waxed paper. The plastic peels off the transfer so easily - I had a transfer break once when I tried to peel off the waxed paper! I never tried waxed again after that. Good luck!

Well I finished the transfers, I ended up using several different sizes because I didn't want to wash the tips everytime I changed colors. I used wax paper before I read that plastic wrap is better. What do I do if the transfer gets stuck? Is there some secret way to get it off?

I use different size tips...depending on how much area will be filled in AND what size I want the outline, etc. to be.

I use wax paper all of the time and the only time I had a transfer break was b/c I wasn't being careful with it.

Just make sure you freeze it long enough!!!! And, be very careful and turn it over and lay it on the cake. Then peel the wax paper off.

Sounds like you did a good job already....you got it done, lol! Good Luck transferring it to your cake!

I agree with mmdd just be sure it is frozen real good and I find that I have to work with the bct fast, because it starts thawing real quickly. I use wax paper every time I do one and have never had a problem so far. Best of luckicon_smile.gif
