Buttercream Transfers! Can I Do It With Store Bought Icing?
Decorating By msthang1224 Updated 2 Jul 2007 , 6:29pm by msthang1224
Okay, I have done tons of Buttercream transfers , but now I'm stumped as how to do them using store bought icing. I have a customer who want chocolate icing (not choc buttercream) for her cake w/spongebob transfer! HELP!! ANYONE!!! Has anyone ever used store bought icing for your transfer??
TIA
Hmm, well you can try a small one using the store bought icing, such as making the shape of a heart or something to see if it will freeze hard and release from the wax paper. I really don't know if it does or doesn't.
The other option which is what I would do is tell her that I can ice the cake in the canned icing like she would like and then do the sponge bob decoration out of your regular buttercream. It's not a ton of buttercream so I don't see it tasting bad with the chocolate icing. If I iced a cake in Chocolate buttercream I'd still have to use regular buttercream on it to make the colored decorations.
Of if you wanted to you could make a chocolate transfer. You do them like the fbct but use chocolate (or candy melts) instead of icing.
Thanks alot for your help. I'll try it out and see what happens
