I just did my 2nd buttercream transfer and I've figured out how to get rid of my worms. What do you think? icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks, Melonie

Melonie, after I did my last layer, I stuck it in the freezer for 30 min. Then I took my wooden fondant roller and rolled all over it pressing the icing down. So it was stiff enough on the top not to stick to the roller, yet still soft enough on the inside to push everything down. I then stuck it back in the freezer for a couple of hours. icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

Sandra, sometimes when you go to fill in with the icing after you outline, you can see the lines from your tip. My first one had quite a few. This time, I made sure I thinned the icing quite a bit, then used my roller to smooth out any lines that I had. I hope that makes sense.

Your kitty looks great... absolutely smooth. Did you do the entire top of the cake as FBCT or just the kitty?

i am going to try this coming week, i was wondering if using this on a cake I assume you can cut cake normmally thru the transfer like it was buttercream icing right? I was thinking if did chocolate transfer it would have to "break" to cut. I need to make some baby blocks for about 10 days. Can i make these up and leave in freezer for a few days? cant wait to try, but scared at the same time

sltoklahoma, I'm afraid I still have not attempted the chocolate transfer, but I believe it would "break" when you cut it. The buttercream transfer just melts back down to normal consistency so you cut into it fine. I think they should be fine in the freezer for a few days.
