How to Make Frozen Buttercream Transfer Tutorial

March 8, 2023 by CJ [email protected] 87 Comments

My favorite cakes to decorate our children’s birthday cakes, which often revolve around a theme or a favorite character. In my quest to figure out how to get these characters onto my cakes, I discovered the frozen buttercream transfer. So, the frozen buttercream transfer is a great method for transferring any image on the top of a buttercream cake. Also, do not worry about the difficulty of the process! As long as you can trace, then you can make one! You can also make a chocolate transfer if you want.

Frozen Buttercream Transfer Recipe

The Recipe

  • Use an American buttercream recipe that has approximately a 50/50 butter-to-shortening ratio. I’ve had good luck with this recipe by Peggy Does Cake.
  • Search online for coloring page images to find clear designs.
  • Place your transfer in the freezer for a minute in between piping each color to keep outlines firm and strong. You might also wanna learn Russian Piping Tips.
  • Also, make your transfer level so it will sit nicely when flipped onto your cake. If the back is not level, it may settle as it thaws.
  • Make your transfer the day you are decorating or up to a week in advance and store it in the freezer.
  • Use a crusting American buttercream (like the one referenced) so you can smooth the final transfer with a Viva paper towel.

Step-by-Step Guide

Now, we will make the transfer step-by-step, together. It’s really important to keep in mind that the next steps are mandatory (except the ones that I’ll say are in fact optional). So, this is a method and recipe that I strongly recommend closely following, rather than improvising. However, you’ll yourself that is not as hard as you may think now. Believe me, it’s easy.

Therefore, without further introduction, let’s get started!

Step 1

First of all, place the parchment paper over the image and trace it with the fine-tip marker. Moreover, I drew a 7-inch circle around my image because I planned to have it fill the top of an 8-inch round cake, leaving room for a border.

Step 2

Second, flip the traced image over and tape it, drawing side down, on a flat surface.

Step 3

Third, trace the outline of the image with black buttercream. Furthermore, I used a #1 tip for a fine outline.

Step 4

Then, begin to fill in the other colors. Remember the final product will be flipped so you are working in reverse order. For example, this chick has an orange blush on her cheek so I applied that color before the yellow background color.

Step 5

Occasionally hold your plexiglass up to check your work from underneath. However, if you see thin spots, add a little more icing. Also, if you see bare spots where light is peeking through, use your small paintbrush to gently press the icing against the outlines.

Then, continue filling in all of the colors on the image.

Step 7

Since I wanted my transfer to be a 7-inch circular shape, I piped my desired background color all the way out to the circle and smoothed it with my offset spatula.

Keep checking from underneath during the process to make sure it looks good. Adjust with your small paintbrush as necessary.

Step 8

Pipe an even background on your transfer that will blend in with the cake color. Then smooth it gently with your offset spatula and place it in the freezer for at least 90 minutes overnight.

When it is frozen, gently place it on your cake and move it to the desired spot.

Next, gently peel off the parchment paper to reveal the frozen buttercream transfer.

Even with all of the careful work, I’m still not happy with the line marks that are visible in my transfer. However, these are from air bubbles between the piped icing.

Step 11 (Optional)

If you’d like to refine the look of your transfer and eliminate those lines, there is a solution. Wait for your crusting buttercream to thaw, then gently smooth it with a Viva paper towel. Thank you to my friend CorrieCakes for this tip! It makes a huge difference.

Much better!

Add your border and any final piping or embellishments. I added some tiny fondant flowers to my frozen buttercream transfer for added interest.

    This worked out great when I tried making a 3D cop car for a cake. It transferred right on and stayed put.
    But months later attempting to do this again, without reading instructions… I used royal icing- don’t ask why I don’t know haha- and I didn’t smooth out the bottom. Will the royal icing work and also what are my options for smoothing the back when already frozen? Thanks!

    Instead of parchment paper I use Reynolds Freezer paper. It has a paper side you can easily drawn on with any markers or pencils and the flip side is plastic coated. Works great for creating images with icing. I find the parchment paper resists marker ink.

      Cherry, Great question. You can substitute shortening for approximately 8-10 Tablespoons of condensed milk. Be careful to add a little at a time to avoid adding too much and your icing being too thin. Hope this helps.

    Can you pipe flowers and then transfer them to a cake, my mamaw’s birthday is in March and my little sister, cousin and I want to make her a cake and have all of her kids and grandkids celebrate with her, she’ll be 65 this year, but I have tried and failed at actually piping flowers or transferring roses onto a cake, I can make them, I just can’t make them on the cake, or when it comes to roses, I always destroy them before the get on the cake. I have thought about just making them on parchment paper and refrigerating them, But I wasn’t sure. One other question, when the decoration defrosts, will it still taste the same, like it won’t taste like watered down butter cream will it? Reply back if possible, Thanks a million!!

      When you carefully flip the image onto the cake, you should remove the parchment paper right away, while it’s still frozen. This gives it the best chance of staying intact. Good luck 🙂

      Just lay the Viva on the cake and rub gently. Do not move the towel while rubbing. If you need to move it to another spot, carefully lift the Viva and ay it on the new spot. This does not work for other paper towels. Viva is the best.

      Hi Elsie. I would recommend making your own buttercream with 50/50 ratio of butter to shortening and tint it black with gel colors that are made for tinting icing. I use the Wilton brand gel coloring. If you are in a humid area, it may help to bring the cake to room temp in a cardboard cake box. I hope these tips help you out 🙂

      Hi Kayla. It will not smear the black outline if you use a crusting buttercream recipe like the one I reference in this post. If you have an untested recipe, perhaps you could gently test a small area first to be safe.

      Hi. I’ve used this method during the summer months in New jersey, which can also get quite hot and humid. I can vouch for Peggy’s buttercream recipe that I link to here. It is amazing in all types of weather. I tint all of the icing myself with Wilton gel icing colors. Some people use the premade tubes of black icing for the outline, which may be an issue with running. I store my buttercream cakes in my refrigerator in a cake box until delivery or party time. The cake box helps to absorb moisture during temperature changes. I’d suggest you do a small trial and test it out in your climate before using the method for a paid order. Let me know how it goes! 🙂

    Just made a cake using this method and it turned out wonderfully! It was a little sketchy there for a minute when I first turned the frozen transfer onto the cake. I was doubtful that the viva paper towel could remove all the swirls and lines; and when the icing started to thaw it was sweating a lot, so I wasn’t sure if it would crust well enough to use the paper towel. But after thawing on the counter for 30 minutes or so, then sticking it back in the fridge for about 15, the paper towel did the trick.

    I have a question for you Renee. I have done this method a few times and have had one common problem with all of them. When I peel the parchment paper off it tends to peel the outlines off. I go straight from the freezer to the cake to ensure that it hasn’t started to thaw, and I go slow and steady. What could be going wrong? I love the variety this method gives me, I just can’t seem to get them on the cake completely! 🙁

      Hi Michelle..sorry to hear that. How frustrating after your hard work! I’ll make a few suggestions that will hopefully help. Make your own buttercream with the suggested butter and shortening ratios. Don’t use store bought types. Also use parchment paper not wax paper. And finally let it freeze for a long time perhaps six hours. I hope that one of these will solve your problem.

I’ve always wondered… thanks very much!

      Great question Ellen. I store my buttercream cakes in the fridge to be on the safe side since they have butter and heavy cream in the icing. Then i take them out at least an hour before serving time so they can some to room temperature. I’m sure they could be out quite a bit longer than that if you wanted to display a cake at a party. Good luck trying the method!

    You did a great job Renee. The tutorial was easy to follow and the cake looks awesome. If I wanted to cover my cake in fondant, would it be better to use the chocolate transfer method or this method?

      Thanks Donndarae. I don’t think you can put a FBCT on a fondant covered cake. For that I would suggest fondant or chocolate embellishments 🙂

    Excellent tutorial! I’ve done FBCTs before the viva paper towel at the end seems to make a HUGE difference!

      Thanks Rose! I was definitely trying my hardest to get clean lines for the sake of the tutorial…plus Corrie’s tip about Viva helped to refine the FBCT. I love all of your cakes!

      Thank you. Yes, give it a try! Start with a simple image the first time to get the hang of it. Good luck.

    I love this method, especially because I frost with whipped cream and you can’t use fondant designs on whipped cream. My customers love it, thanks!

    I am SO impressed! This is simple and much easier than the gel outline transfer in Wilton Method. Kudos to you Renee! Can’t wait to try it.

      Thanks Melissa. OMG..I think I’ve tried that gel icing transfer with dismal results now that you bring it up. Yes, this works better for me 🙂
