Chocolate Transfers: Everything You Should Know

by Kristen 8 Comments

These beautiful decorations are called “chocolate transfers” and were made by one of my Flickr friends Julie. She has told me that she found the inspiration from the book Whimsical Bakehouse written by Kaye & Liv Hansen.

Learn Everything About Chocolate Transfers

Julie is great at making these chocolate transfers and has recently started a small home business called sugar-coated love where you can buy handcrafted sweet treats for all occasions.

If you would like to try making chocolate transfers yourself. You can get the book from one of my cake book stores. Also, I have found out that The Whimsical Bakehouse will publish a brand new book next year called: Little cakes from the whimsical bakehouse. So there is something to look forward to for all your whimsical bakehouse fans.

You can find the Whimsical bakehouse book in my cake book store:
Whimsical bakehouse US
Whimsical bakehouse UK

Happy Caking

Louise

    Yes! mommawants1more does some beautiful work.

    Andrea: “kransekage” translated to “almond cake top” is also something you can get in Norway. It is made out of marzipan, icing sugar and egg whites. You can read and see more about it here: https://www.laglace.dk/eng/page/82

    I hope you get the time to try make the icing butterflies. They are so sweet.

    Hi,
    No, I don’t know this kransekage…Is it typical in Denmark ??

    Talking about butterflies I am looking forward to trying the ones made by Peggy Porschen with royal icing, but did not have time yet. They must look gorgeous in a white cake !
