    • @AsiaCoffee

      Piping bag with a bit of the buttercream color needed cut with a small opening and an angled spatula will fill the hole no problem. The fact the the surrounding buttercream is very cold as helps.👌🏽 Thanks for watching!

    Does this have to be done on dark frosting? I used white and can’t see it with the piping gel

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 2 měsíci

      Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time with this technique Carol. You should be able to see the piping gel over the top of white icing. I would recommend that you slightly tint the piping gel with a gel food color that coordinates with your design. This will help you see it better!

    When storing the buttercream in the freezer, do we need to cover it ? Also it’s very humid here do I need to take it out of the freezer and then to the fridge ?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 2 lety +1

      No you don’t need to cover your buttercream transfer while it’s in the freezer, unless you’re planning to store it there for more than a few hours. Since it’s humid where you live, yes I would make sure your cake stays in the refrigerator once the transfer is applied. Thanks for watching!

  • @carolporter7094
    @carolporter7094 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I love this but my design stayed soft so it blobbed and I used cookie icing. Maybe wrong? I wanted to send photo of the icing but I’m thinking I need the buttercream icing or piping colors? It looks so easy from you! Lol

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you so much for answering you’re amazing I’m determined to do this. It’s just no one to eat the cake. I also learned about edible photos/designs that I could place on top of the cake. ❤

  • @MrFroggyfreak30
    @MrFroggyfreak30 Před rokem

    I do ice cream cakes and am wondering if I could trace the image with and edible marker on the wax paper and it transfer onto the ice cream for piping? We use bettercreme on our cakes so it doesn't freeze.

  • @kaileekernodle6611

    Can I do this with regular store bought icing ? Should I add powdered sugar to make it slightly thicker ?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před rokem

      You can try, BUT in my years of teaching classes and having students bring store brands of icing to class on accident: powdered sugar doesn’t thicken that kind of icing much, if at all. Great question!

    Is the butter cream get melted if leave it outside or still same shape? I wonder which one look more compatible with the cake, afraid that the butter cream one cannot hold the shape later?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 2 lety +1

      I wouldn’t leave a buttercream-covered cake outside exposed to heat and/or direct sunlight for an extended period of time. It’s best to keep it in a temperature controlled space!

  • @Undertaky01
    @Undertaky01 Před rokem

    My question is, when you fill the image with coloured buttercream and then immediately with a white layer, doesnt the colour bleed or smudge into the white part. Should i fill, and freeze and then cover with white and freeze again?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před rokem

      That's a great question! I've never had an issue with color bleed or smudging when white is applied over the top, but you may certainly fill/freeze/repeat to avoid having this issue if it's a concern. Thanks for watching!

    • @carolporter7094
      @carolporter7094 Před 4 měsíci +1

      The whole thing did. I’m not sure I used the right product to write the design with. I bought cookie icing?

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  Před 4 měsíci

      @carolporter7094 It sounds like you tried this technique with the wrong product. You did it correctly, but you shouldn’t refrigerate cookie icing (royal icing) for this technique. If you’re using cookie icing, you should allow the icing to harden at room temperature or very carefully move it to a dehydrator with a fan. Refrigerating cookie icing exposes it to moisture and causes the colors to bleed/run. I hope this helps!

      You don’t necessarily need meringue powder to make buttercream though it can help to stabilize your buttercream and warmer climates. I’ve used cream of tartar to help stabilize meringue based buttercream in the past. What kind of buttercream are you making?
