Cake Decorating Tutorial – Frozen Buttercream Transfers

Monday, October 10th, 2011
Ever tried to pipe something specific onto a cake? A cartoon character, a company logo, or any other sort of recognizable design?

I know, it’s a pain. You’re stressed out about not screwing it up, hoping the final thing will be recognizable, and that it doesn’t end up on the Cake Wrecks website.

Did you know that there’s a much easier way to do it, than freehanding it? It’s called “frozen buttercream transfer”, and it takes all of the stress and freehand work out of piping set designs!

The nice thing about this technique is that it requires absolutely no artistic skill whatsoever! It’s the kind of simple “Man, I wish *I* had thought of that!” brilliance that… well, I wish I’d thought of! Alas, this is one of those “learned it through other cakers” design “secrets”.

Hope you enjoy my first cake decorating tutorial!
