In my experience, using Crisco etc prevents freezing...it's the butter that allows the transfer to freeze completely.

If you don't have a transparency paper, just use a piece of wax paper, but make sure you flip the image on your computer before you print it out. If you want to look for transparency paper, check out any office supply store for them.

The little smile on the Ax7 skull was adorable and funny. Since this isn't a cartoon character, you've got to a find way to get those details that you see on the image. The skull isn't mostly white, now is it? The boy/girl receiving this is going to find it cringey and lame, I can assure you this (as a 24 year old who loved this band 10 years ago). Thanks for the transfer tips!

I used to use transparencies because I didn't know how to flip the image on the computer...but if you know how to do that, then you don't need a transparency...just a flipped image on a regular piece of paper.

I have used it for cupcakes, and it works wonderfully! Have fun!

HOLY COW, THAT’S SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

thanks for watching the videos! they are great to make, and its awesome you are watching from mexico! thanks from canada!

@Kezzluvsthewantedx the buttercream recipe i use is a butter, milk, icing sugar and vanilla one...pretty typical. i have not left any FBT in the freezer for longer than an hour, as most of the cakes that i have done this way are due the same day, or the next.

Nice work from what I can see maybe next time you can put your camera on the other side of your hand so that people can really see your step.by.step video instead of looking at the back of your hand

I need to make this for my brother-in-law. He will freak out!! Love it!!!

AVENGED SEVENFOLD. OH MY GOD. I JUST DIED

huge Avenged fan. I wanna Avenged cake!

holly crap on a cake! I just stumbled on this. the production of your video's, and even your cakes are so much improved. love it , love your channel.

Thank you so much for this video. I've made some great cakes for my family with this process. I appreciate it!

@SARAAMOTIWALA the image was photocopied onto a transparency and then wax paper is put on top of that. ...that way you can see through it to your image below. Transparency paper can be found at any paper supply store.

yes, you sure can! you can find the recipe for both buttercream and cream cheese icings on our channel

When the music was starting, i thought i farted

i like the happy skull face for such a metal band

@taimaotro LOL....sorry!! We used music only in the first couple of videos...if you watch our newest ones, we don't have an "under the big top" feel.

@appleliciousify125 Yes … You can either use a transparency to-do this or your printer may have a mirror option in its settings.

@rockacookamanga Yes, I have done this in the summer, and yes humidity and heat will affect buttercream. The fact that you are freezing each layer definitely helps in this situation.

Thank you. Amazing I was thinking on applying the techniques to cupcakes. Thank you so very much.

@beanfromex11 lol … Thanks … The music seemed like a good choice at the time …

Thanks for the nice comment!

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!!! Excellent job!!!

@Midsummernightseats.....as far as I know, yes, you can use candy melts in the same way. I haven't tried it...yet...but from all the readings I've done on various blogs, you can! Good luck...let me know how it turns out...I'm curious now.

I like the music! It's funny and even funnier when it bothers other people! lol

the...music...is...driving..me...CRAZY!!!!!

don´t waste your time answering people like this, let them make a fool about themselves. Be a lady (wich i think u are) and let them express freely. Use your talent for positive purposes. Don´t get caught in their games. Salutes from Mexico :D PS. I´ve learned so much from your vids :D tx

you can get it at any office supply store...it's called transparency paper

musics quite catchy after a while!

love the music

We have lots of buttercream recipes listed on our channel. Enjoy!

Hahaha! We’re currently in a contest, if you have time VOTE for us to win KZfaq’s OnTheRise program. Go to our main page and watch the VOTE video for details!

I thought the music was cute. :o) And the logo looks great.

that's a great idea!! thanks for sharing with me!

I actually haven't tried it with SMBC, so if you do, let me know if it works

I would make it the night before...in order to maintain optimal freshness.

OMG!!!!! I love avenged sevenfold and I love to cook cakes!!!!! this is perfect!!!! i love it!!!!!

I want to try this method to make mini stand up grave stones, would they lose shape if not kept in the fridge after putting them on the cake?

Thanks so much! Easy too!!

@gelflingfaysuzanne i haven't tried to do an outline alone....my thought would be that it would be fairly unstable, but if you put enough layers of the outline, and froze it completely, it might work! let me know how it goes.

I saw the A7X at the bottom corner of the screen and squealed! I LOVE A7X!!!!!!

are you using which side of the wax paper? the side where it is waxed (shiny side)? or the side which is not waxed (matte side)?

THE MUSIC !!!!

love the tutorial, great job! I was wondering where or how can you make or get that transfer sheet. I am looking to make a monster high cake. thanks

Can you use this for cookies?

Awesome work. Keep on doing what you do best and enjoy. Ignore the negative people and their negative comments and Focus only on the positive. Luv ur videos

Thanks!

Great!

@gelflingfaysuzanne awesome...glad it worked! thanks for getting back to me...i'm sure i'll use that tip one day!

Nice method. I will have to try that.😁

Congratulations! Very instructive. What cream do you use? Ingredients, please!

Yes, it needs to stay there until you're ready to put it on the cake.

@CupcakesandCardio Well I did it with a store bought icing and it did ok. It would have been better if i had made my own icing but be that as it may it came out well. I let it freeze all night to make sure it would stick.

I do the same thing but with royal icing. Love the video :)

I loved the video. What is the name of the tune and the group who performs it? I really like the music. I can't see how anyone could be in a bad mood with that playing. Thanks Vicki

I don't know if the icing would come off of that. You always want to make sure that you're using food safe products when working with food.

Everyone is talking about the music being weird and I'm just sitting here dancing. xD lol

thanks for watching and commenting!

Omg! I'm a Deathbat foREVer and my birthday is tomorrow and I wanted an a7x cake but my mom said it would be too hard but she's going to do this for me! I love Avenged Sevenfold!!

Cool music! Lol

have u ever done this on summer? because where i live its hot and high humidity...it will effect the buttercream...nice job and thanks for sharing this technique

Fantastic. What a great idea !

i'm sure you can find a colour that is suitable for your project if you don't like black.

i don care bout your music, about it looks like, the important is learn it.. tq so much..

Avenged Sevenfold! Haha you just earned a subscriber ;)

interesting...i've never tried to freeze RI...any tips?

What is the difference between WAX, PARCHMENT or BAKING PAPER. I've used baking paper under my cake before & when i pulled it off it rips some cake off with it, sometime small chunks..... P.S - I'm in Australia so our products may have different names... PLEASE HELP!

I love the music its kinda funny too!

Can I use the same buttercream i would use to cover, fill and decorate cakes n cupcakes.

Hello please can you list out the tools you used for the buttercream transfer. Thanks

Also called OHP sheets (over head projector) sheets.

I love the music. It made me laugh! :)

Ok im lost. Where did you get the letters to begin with?

Good job

do i have to fill it in or can I just do an outline? I only need an outline done but i want it to be a perfect as possible. I have done transfers before but have not attempted the outline. Do you think it do-able?

omg I know I saw it right I love aveged!! this will be my bday cake!

I don't freeze it, I just make the "picture" about a week before I make the cake, so it becomes really hard and than I do the same as you do.

Oh yeah! Sevenfold!

wow it came out very awsome

What brand do you use to add color to your buttercream or cream cheese frosting. I am specifically interested in what black gel or food coloring you use to get the frosting really black. I have had bad luck getting it a true black in the past.

What's the brand name of the food color dye you used in this?

so is the butter cream just like normal butter cream you put on a victoria sponge? and that freezes and defrosts fine? also, is there a limit to how long you can leave it in the freezer before it goes funny or it starts to get ice crystals form? :)

Love it. Thank you for sharing

Why do you use transparencies exactly? It seems like a normal sheet of paper beneath it would be fine since you put the icing on wax paper .... Is there a particular reason you do it?

Omg Avenged Sevenfold my favourite band cx

I was going to make a buttercream with strictly butter this time around instead of using Crisco. I saw on another tutorial that they recommended using half half in order for it to freeze well...What do you recommend?

How long do you recommend you leave the cake for the buttercream to defrost before it's edible?

omg the music XD LOL

Do you have to keep the cake in cool til ready to serve? Does the buttercream run or design mess up when temp change?

Can we use SMBC for this?

Love it so much!!!!!!

How long in advance can i make this? I have a party in two weeks can i make it now?

Can you use this method to make a stand up cake toper. Like Numbers or Letters? How long will it last before it starts to melt and fall apart?

Thanks for you

who and where do you get the transfer paper, love your cake's

Hi, Can someone please let me know what did she put the image on? Was it wax paper or parchement paper? I am refering to the very first step, when she stuck the transparent image on a paper. Thanks

@CupcakesandCardio thanks

i liked the music...
