I did this for my brothers birthday cake in the summer I chose the frozen method I’ve never done anything like it before and it came out great thank you for that, I came back to your video couldn’t remember lol I’m going to do it again for a grinch Christmas cake 😁
Omg thank you so much for this video, I don’t know the method and kinda search for character cake decoration keyword but none appears how to do a tutorial, most of it were just a video how they decor it without explanation 😅 This help so much since I’m just a noob 😂
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with this technique Carol. You should be able to see the piping gel over the top of white icing. I would recommend that you slightly tint the piping gel with a gel food color that coordinates with your design. This will help you see it better!
@@Justamoviegirl Fantastic question! If the cake has sat at room temp and acclimated, it was cut smoothly because it will have softened a bit. If the cake icing is still hard when you want to cut it, I recommend that you use a sharp knife (perhaps heat the blade with a lighter) to get a smooth cut. Thanks for watching!
@carolporter7094 It sounds like you tried this technique with the wrong product. You did it correctly, but you shouldn’t refrigerate cookie icing (royal icing) for this technique. If you’re using cookie icing, you should allow the icing to harden at room temperature or very carefully move it to a dehydrator with a fan. Refrigerating cookie icing exposes it to moisture and causes the colors to bleed/run. I hope this helps!
Good question! I have never tried with whipped cream…. You can experiment and give it a try. If you do, please come back and let us know how it turned out!
I do ice cream cakes and am wondering if I could trace the image with and edible marker on the wax paper and it transfer onto the ice cream for piping? We use bettercreme on our cakes so it doesn't freeze.
I personally like the piping gel transfer better. I feel like it has a cleaner look then the frozen. Is there a way to get those gaps filled when you do the frozen one? Thanks
Piping bag with a bit of the buttercream color needed cut with a small opening and an angled spatula will fill the hole no problem. The fact the the surrounding buttercream is very cold as helps.👌🏽 Thanks for watching!
When storing the buttercream in the freezer, do we need to cover it ? Also it’s very humid here do I need to take it out of the freezer and then to the fridge ?
No you don’t need to cover your buttercream transfer while it’s in the freezer, unless you’re planning to store it there for more than a few hours. Since it’s humid where you live, yes I would make sure your cake stays in the refrigerator once the transfer is applied. Thanks for watching!
It’s a pretty simple method that uses supplies you would typically already have on hand. No projectors or edible printers needed! Best of luck and thanks for watching. 💕
My question is, when you fill the image with coloured buttercream and then immediately with a white layer, doesnt the colour bleed or smudge into the white part. Should i fill, and freeze and then cover with white and freeze again?
That's a great question! I've never had an issue with color bleed or smudging when white is applied over the top, but you may certainly fill/freeze/repeat to avoid having this issue if it's a concern. Thanks for watching!
You don’t necessarily need meringue powder to make buttercream though it can help to stabilize your buttercream and warmer climates. I’ve used cream of tartar to help stabilize meringue based buttercream in the past. What kind of buttercream are you making?
I love this but my design stayed soft so it blobbed and I used cookie icing. Maybe wrong? I wanted to send photo of the icing but I’m thinking I need the buttercream icing or piping colors? It looks so easy from you! Lol
Thank you so much for answering you’re amazing I’m determined to do this. It’s just no one to eat the cake. I also learned about edible photos/designs that I could place on top of the cake. ❤
You can try, BUT in my years of teaching classes and having students bring store brands of icing to class on accident: powdered sugar doesn’t thicken that kind of icing much, if at all. Great question!
You can try! I rarely work with whipped cream because it’s too soft to handle. Please come back and let us know how it works if you try this technique!
Yes, that one’s definitely my favorite! Though I don’t get to do these often, it’s still a good technique to have in my back pocket. 😉 Thanks for watching!
That’s a great idea, tinting. I however ended up doing the buttercream one and you make it look so easy! 😂. It turned out ok but nothing I’d share. I used a rabbit for Easter and things blurred together for the eyes. This is only first try so I won’t quit. I like it. I need to now do the white backing. Ty gif answering so quickly. 🐇
Is the butter cream get melted if leave it outside or still same shape? I wonder which one look more compatible with the cake, afraid that the butter cream one cannot hold the shape later?
I wouldn’t leave a buttercream-covered cake outside exposed to heat and/or direct sunlight for an extended period of time. It’s best to keep it in a temperature controlled space!
I did this for my brothers birthday cake in the summer I chose the frozen method I’ve never done anything like it before and it came out great thank you for that, I came back to your video couldn’t remember lol I’m going to do it again for a grinch Christmas cake 😁
I’m so glad that you were happy with the final result on your brothers b-day cake! 💕 Thanks for watching again!

Love the frozen buttercream transfer. It’s an exact copy of the original.
Both but frozen. I’ve never been a cake decorator but lately want to try it and you helped me with that desire Thank you !
I like the frozen buttercream but only because if the smoothness. I love the easy technique of the gel
thanks for the helpful video! I'll try the first technique for my birthday cake next week :D

Does this have to be done on dark frosting? I used white and can’t see it with the piping gel
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with this technique Carol. You should be able to see the piping gel over the top of white icing. I would recommend that you slightly tint the piping gel with a gel food color that coordinates with your design. This will help you see it better!
The frozen one is so much nicer. Thanks for the demo.
I think so too! Thanks for watching 💕

Thanks soo much for this video
@@obigeraldine741 You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 💕
How does the frozen transfer do with cutting the cake? Does it cut smoothly or crumble?
@@Justamoviegirl Fantastic question! If the cake has sat at room temp and acclimated, it was cut smoothly because it will have softened a bit. If the cake icing is still hard when you want to cut it, I recommend that you use a sharp knife (perhaps heat the blade with a lighter) to get a smooth cut. Thanks for watching!
Very good thank you
It's definitely buttercream transfer. Thanks for your tutorials
Thanks for watching! 😊
My designs blurred!!!! What did I do wrong? I put it in the fridge
Oh no…. 😱 What part of your design blurred? Did the colors bleed in a certain spot? Tell me more.
The whole thing did. I’m not sure I used the right product to write the design with. I bought cookie icing?
@carolporter7094 It sounds like you tried this technique with the wrong product. You did it correctly, but you shouldn’t refrigerate cookie icing (royal icing) for this technique.

My question is, when you fill the image with coloured buttercream and then immediately with a white layer, doesnt the colour bleed or smudge into the white part. Should i fill, and freeze and then cover with white and freeze again?
