What tips do you recommend using when filling in a buttercream transfer? Is there one tip better than others or does it matter? Thanks!

I use tip 5...seems to make the frosting nice and even and also smooth.
I am sure other people may have a different prefrence.

On the two that are in my gallery, I used tips 2 and 3 for outlining. The large areas I filled in with tip 5 and the smaller areas with tip 3. Using tip 3 allowed me to get into some of the smaller areas.

Like KrazyKross I would use the smaller tips for outlining and detail work, otherwise it can get a little smudgey. If the picture does not have a lot of details or lines you might be able to get away with a bigger tip.

I use smaller tips for outlining as mentioned... Also, I find it helps to freeze in between colors to prevent smudging. I check for any spaces in my transfer by standing under a light and holding My glass cutting board (my BCT desk) up to the light.
