Ok so over this holiday weekend I am going to attempt my first frozen buttercream transfer. I think it should be easy - the only question I have is when coloring in the transfer do you just fill it in with stars? And then when you smooth the back, that's what makes the front smooth?
help!
Thanks

NO you dont do it that way... Here is a step by step that Cali4dawn has put together to show you how to do this...

Hope it helps and good luck...
That's the directions I was going to use.....but it says after you outline the image, begin coloring it in and she doesn't say how to do that? What tip do I use?

I dont think there is a tip or at least when I did it I did not use a tip I just used a parchment bag with frosting and just squeezed it out and filled it in that way and then smoothed the back....
ahhh that makes sense I was looking at the pictures in the directions and it looks like she is using a tip so that's why I wasn't sure what to do but it seems like just filling a bag will do the trick
Thanks so much for your quick replies!

Hi, Jennifer. When I do mine I will use tip 1 or 2 to outline with. And depending on the sizes of areas within the picture, I will use various round hole tips. Sometimes I will use a 1 and other times I may be able to use up to a 5 or 6. Hope this helps!

This may be a really stupid question, but to do the BCT, I keep reading in the instructions to "print your image out in reverse/mirror image". I can't figure out how on my printer to do that. Can anyone help?
ok my transfer is in the freezer....i did an american flag....a little hard with the small lines of the flag so we'll see how it comes out!
For the printer question - if you go to your print setup and click on Properties and then Features, there should be an option that says Flip Horizontal and a box to check off next to it. That's what mine has at least! Hope that helps.
Thanks everyone for your help today! 
thank you, kissmeandcstars, for answering my printer question.
If you have lettering in your BCT, just flipping the horizontally or vertically won't give you a "mirror" image, just backwards!
I am sorry to say that I can't find my notes on how to do the "Mirror" image, but someone else will come along and tell you, I hope! I just didn't want you to make the same mistake I did...I thought it was mirror but it was just backward and I had to cut off the lettering and just use the picture! Janice

I did one yesterday and filled it in with stars-it ended up with the texture of a basketball!!! Good learning experience!
