This is very helpful…I do have a question: Does this work only on animated pictures or can you do a photo of a family member too?

The suggestion to use store brand canned frosting for the outline REALLY helped me – I used Aldi’s chocolate frosting and without that, I don’t think it would have peeled off the paper properly. That frosting stayed harder than the buttercream just long enough to get the transfer moved. Thanks so much for the extra tip!!

I used this for the first time on my halloween cake and it turned out great. I was worried about the colors running but if you follow the directions that are given it turns out beautiful. Thanks.

Would there be any concern about how far in advance to freeze, I’ve read not more than 90 minutes or it might crack. What about when thawing is there concern of the colors running?

I’m going to try this next week, but I’m worried about what to use for outlining. There is a store here that carries the Wilton brand, but I was wondering what “Wilton’s black” specifically referred to – is it just their regular black tube icing? I’m doing a Red Wings logo – should I use a Wilton’s red icing and my own normal buttercream for the white? I’m sorry if this sounds like a silly question – I’ve never done a buttercream transfer before, and I don’t want to mess it up! Thanks

Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been wondering how to do this for a while, but never really took the time to look it up, I’m just a mom who wants to make my own cakes for my kids birthdays, I’m going to try this for my son’s Wall-E cake for next week…hope I can get it right!
