Can someone please tell me how to make buttercream transfers? I need to put a photo on a cake for FRIDAY! without the use of a copycake! It doesn't have to be edible if it can be easily removed. Please help! Thanks!
Go here then in the last bunch of articles is how to do a buttercream transfer, I was just going to give you that link but you may be interested in the other stuff. Have fun, I just did my first last week the lion in my photos, was real easy. I used the butter and shortening recipe for icing....

Yep the one Shaddi gave you is the one I'm sending you to that I used, works GREAT!!!!!!!
Someone explain step 7 to me! What is happening here....
Yes I don't understand this either. It seems as though they forgot a step in the directions. After you fill in the coloring, do you place a piece of wax paper on top of the coloring and turn over before smoothing down the back?? Also, if someone can explain step 8 better I would appreciate that too. I feel so stupid not understanding this, sorry.
I felt stupid too but I HAD to get it done and no one was answering! Once I started working thru the steps I had an Aha! on the whole thing.
For step 7 I had to grease my spatula otherwise it pulled all my work up. You literally just smooth down on what you just did, there is no step missing believ it or not. and then you put the white down or whatever color, I used white. then you stick it in the freezer like that.
You can see mine it my pics here is the link

I put my last coat on to thick but I was in a time crunch and went with it!
Hope that helps, really you just start doing it and it will come together for you!
