Made 36 Skullette royal icing transfers for cupcake toppers and the black has bled into all of the pink bows. There are a couple of things I did wrong which is a fine lesson for future transfers, but does anyone have any suggestions on still being able to use these and they look good?
Possibly piping over the area again has been one suggestion, but I'm open. Cupcakes get delivered in about 36 hours so time is of the essence.
Thanks everybody!

AI would say overpiping is the best option, I can't think of any thing else you could do.
Hope someone has a better answer for you.
Forgive my ignorance, but is "overpiping" literally just piping over what's already been piped? Still learning terminology.
AYes it is. Unsure of the design you gave or if it's possible but overpiping to disguise if not totally cover would be the best bet.
"Skullette" is the skull with the pink bow on top from Monster High.
And thanks for responding. Wish me luck!
AOh ok. I know monster high but not the names of them. Yeah, I should think you'll be able to disguise it.
Are you Bedford in the uk by the way?

Photos are extremely helpful in getting suggestions, can you post one?
I have not taken any and won't be able to until this evening which is when I need to work on them.
I believe overpiping is going to be my only option, but thanks for asking for the pics.
If what you are saying is that you piped little Royal Icing bows, let them dry, and put them on cupcakes.
If this is what you did, it's helpful to let them dry a couple of days until they are as hard as glass -- and completely dry.
especially in a dark or strong contrasting color.
I think I stumbled across a possible remedy and wanted to share it...
"Dip the whole problem area in sanding sugar: One of my very favorite solutions. I messed up with a food marker on two of my baby onesie cookies. So I just flipped them over and gave them a nice dunk in the sugar." -- http://www.ediblexperiments.com/2013/01/full-tutorial-sugar-cookies-w-royal.html. This lady has some awesome tips!
I've attached an image of what my creations look like just for reference. I think I can pipe on a bit of icing in the pink area and dip it in sugar crystals to cover the area the black bled into the pink.
