I know I have seen a demo for chocolate transfers on here before but with the technical problems recently I cannot do a search for it......so I'd like to know:

Is it actual chocolate or candy wafers?

Are any other ingredients added?

Can it be applied to the side of a cake(vertically) or would it slide off or crack?

Thanks for any help!

I just went back and looked at my forum posts. I had someone reply back to me with a few links on how to do one. It's not in there any more. I am going to do one tomorrow for a cake. I got a color copy and placed it in a report cover (this is supposed to help make it shiny?!?); I then purchased Wilton's color candy melts. Melt the chocolates and start outlining your picture. The picture should be reversed. Think about when you flip over the picture, what you are going to see first--the outline and then usually the details before the last color is added. I hope that it works as this is for our teacher's appreciation day at school. Don't add any other ingredients. If you need to color your chocolates, use candy colors. If you apply the chocolates vertically, then use buttercream as a glue. After typing all of this, I hope this is the kind of information you are looking for and not transfer sheets. Good Luck!

Thanks NEWTODECORATING-that's exactly what I was talking about! thumbs_up.gif

And thank you terabera69, I didn't know about the report cover. And I don;t know why I didn't think of Using BC to "glue" the transfer on but that's a great idea! icon_lol.gif
