The past couple of times I've tried to use the frozen buttercream transfer method, part of the icing has stuck to the waxpaper. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? I've left the transfer in the freezer overnight and that did not work. I've tried this a couple of times and it almost always sticks. icon_cry.gif

Thanks in advance!

I don't use wax paper. I cover the design with plastic wrap. Just make sure you pull it tight so there are no wrinkles.

i use parchment paper instead of wax paper and i haven't had mine stick at all. You just have to make sure you put the FBCT on your cake as soon as you take it out of the freezer....

I've noticed if my lines are thin it will sometimes stick to the wax paper as well.

I just did my first successful one this weekend and have now learned that I was making them too thin before. I beefed this one up a bit and it worked perfectly! And yes, put it on straight out of the freezer and pull the paper right off!

The last time I made an fbct I was out of parchment and used wax paper and it stuck!!! Will not use wax paper again. I have never had a problem with parchment paper.

I have had no problem with waxed paper. What I do is when I complete the transfer and it freezes, I take it out and take the waxed paper off the front and replace it with a new sheet. I have had no problems.

I don't make them anymore but I did in the past and used wax paper with no problems. Do you find it is happening with one specific color or jsut at different times?

I made my first one a few weeks ago..I know now I need to make it thicker but does it ever freeze completely solid. I left mine in for about 12 hrs and it seemed to barely set up and it you touched your finger on it the color came right off. Does that sound right? To be that soft still?
