I've made chocolate transfers before, and this is what I do:
Draw or print out a SIMPLE line drawing. Place it on a completely flat surface that you can move (i.e.: a cutting board). Tape it down and then put parchment or wax paper on top of the drawing. Melt an "outline" color and put in a disposable pastry bag with a small tip. I usually use a #2, so that you can see the outline. Pipe the outline and place in freezer to dry-cutting board and all. It should take about a minute. While that part is in the freezer, melt the other color(s) you will use. Fill in inside the outline. Smooth the chocolate over the entire image-not going outside the outline. Put back in the freezer to set up: 2-3 min. at least. Once frozen, use a thin flexible spatula (an icing spatula works great) to release from the paper/board. The bottom, when turned over, will be completely flat and you will se the outlined details as well as the colored fill-in. HTH. Good luck.

Thanks. I was going to try those tomorrow. Do you have to do an outline if the colors are all the same?
