Hi all,
I checked through the tutorials posted and am still looking for a more information on how to execute a chocolate transfer. I've bought some of the white chocolate melts from Wilton and have parchment squares but I am hoping for some more tips on colouring the chocolate? and a step by step guide of what to do.
Any help would be greatly (so greatly!) appreciated.
Yours cakingly!!

Hello..
The Whimsical Bakehouse book explains chocolate transfers really good. You can look at there website also, www.whimsicalbakehouse.com under the decorate tab. You take chocolate candy melts, melt in the microwave and color with oil based colors how you wish. It is the same concept as a frozen buttercream transfer. You can put a picture under a piece of wax paper, and then trace. Start with the outline and then fill in. I just use a parchment bags, or make my own out of celophane and cut a small tip in the end. Once it is dry (10 minutes or so) you flip it over and there you have it. I also microwave it in the bag because it will harden. HTH, let me know if you have any more questions. I have done a lot with chocolate transfers, look in my pictures and you will see 
Flo-coat is WONDERFUL for coloring chocolate with your Americolors or any other gel. If you want more info, just PM me, I'm happy to help.

Another thought, I have basic colors of the "melts" (white, red, green, blue, yellow)...and then mix these according to the colors I want. If I don't have the color I need, I use the white and gel colors. Although this may make the chocolate "seize", I have found that it can quickly be remedied by adding just a little Crisco (or oil). This hardens just as well as the regular melts without color.
Thanks for all the help and the transfer I'll be trying is the logo for the Beatles in white (thankfully) but I'll do the black outline to give it some definition. I guess with doing the letters they need to be somewhat attached to each other? Otherwise it'll fall apart? I'll keep you all posted as to how it goes.
I get the best help on CC, thanks again!

I think just the lettering alone will be too fragile to hold together. You should fill in the back - kind of like a plaque. Trace the outline of the lettering, let dry a bit, then fill/flood around and over the letters. Let dry and peel off.
You probably already know, but don't forget to print the logo as a "mirror" image. I've done lots of transfers, and still sometimes forget - thankfully with a picture that didn't matter.
Have fun. Once you get the hang of them, they're fun and very effective.
