Problems With Royal Icing Transfers On Buttercream Iced Cake
Decorating By tammik Updated 15 Sep 2006 , 8:00pm by toristreats
I am having problems with the transfers that I have done for a couple of cakes.
I have problems with the icing looking like it's soaking up moisture on the cake icing after I put the transfer on the cake.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong. Do I need to put powdered sugar under them or something to keep the icing from coming up into the transfer? Some are just fine but others I have really had problems with. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
You can e-mail me directly if you would like. Please put in the suggestion line - royal icing transfer help
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to do another one today and that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to put the transfer on right before the customer picks up the cake. I wonder though, if you could put powdered sugar under it and just put little dots of buttercream on the edged to hold it in place on the cake?
I've never done a royal icing transfer, but I wonder if you could put some parchment paper under the transfer (cut to size of course). Just a thought.
