Which transfer do you prefer to use in your decorating and why?
Chocolate Transfer
or
Frozen Buttercream Transfer
I have done both and I think that I prefer the chocolate transfer (CT) over doing the frozen buttercream transfer (FBCT). It takes me hours to make the FBCT's. It takes me a lot less time making the CT's. I think that the CT's are nicer looking too. They come out more "sharp" for me.
What about YOU ... which do you prefer? And WHY??

I also prefer the ct's over the fbct's. I agree that it takes less time to make them and they look sharper. But I also love the fact that I don't have to "rush" placing on the cake. With the ct's I can take my time and I have more control over centering them. With fbct's it's freezer to cake right off. JMO
At first I prefered the FBCT, but then once I finally got the hang of CT's, I think I perfer them. CT's are my thing now! I have been doing them a lot lately. I still think that FBCT are good too though, it just depends on the style of your cake.
I like the ct. I've been able to paint luster dust on them in ways that probably wouldn't work too well with FBCT. That and I don't have to make a batch of icing if I want to do it several days ahead, I can just melt candy and what I don't use I can throw back in the bag once it sets. ![]()
