I have never made a ct before only fbt, so my question is how to you get the different colors. I would like to try but I am unsure because I read not to use the wilton colors becuase it gets clumpy. The melts don't come in a lot of colors, or do they sell colors for the melts. Maybe that is it. Help me please!!!

You are right. you can either use colored candy melts, or coloring specifically for coloring chocolate. Those are oil based, the regular Wilton paste colors include water that will cause your chocolate to sieze.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a tutorial or something that explains how to do a chocolate transfer?

I've searched this site and come up with a few links, but for some reason whenever I click on the link at the bottom of the page to go to the next page, I get an error message. (This happens on all archived pages by the way)
