you did a great job, I once tried a transfer and it didn't work for me but yours look great
They look great. I did the same thing about 4 months ago for a 1st bday for my god-son, check out my pictures. I think we even pulled the same image from the net...funny.
Did you use chocolate flow?
Wow! They came out great....I was going to do a fondant elmo for my son's first bday but maybe I'll try this instead.
BTW, what is chocolate flow??
Chocolate flow is just like color flow with Royal, but using chocolate instead. You have to work fast. I take the picture and place it under a piece of acetate, pretty much use the chocolate like I am coloring in a book and then put in the freezer, pop it off the acetate and you have the image.
Remember that the top (what you are looking at from looking down at the piece) is actually the back, so the key is to work fast and fill in all the holes.
Its a lot of fun and tasty too.
sorry but what is acetate?
Its a clear heavy plastic thats stiff, you can buy it at the craft store I think.
Looks great to me and my daughter who is saying "ELMO MO> ELMO MO". She is going to expect me to make one now-gotta keep her away from the computer--lol
WOW!! Elmo looks great ! I have yet to try one ! Havent been brave enough. You make it sound easy !!

They look awesome!
Can I ask why you use acetate instead of parchment or wax paper? Ive heard that acetate makes the chocolate look shiny, instead of matte.
The finished cake pic is in my portfolio. The mom just LOVED the cake. I have even gotten a few orders from it. I used a plastic sleeve protector. I did use the colored candy melts. It was fun and easy, and yes, you do have to work fast. What helped me, I placed the sleeve protector on a piece of glass, and I was able to pick it up, and see where I had any bubbles or air pockets, and I was able to fix them pretty quick. I cant wait to do the next one....Thanks everyone!!!
