Shamrock Royal Icing Transfers

I like royal icing transfers. I do not use them as much as I should, but they’re fun to make and you can use them to decorate all types of desserts. You can decorate cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Let’s make cute shamrock royal icing transfers today because St. Patrick’s Day will be here soon.

The first thing you need to do is print off your template. I used a shamrock I found on a free clip art site. Then I made it different sizes.

Next, tape your clip art paper to a flat surface like a cutting board. It’s a perfect size and that makes me happy. I was a high school secretary and the basketball coach gave one to all the secretaries in the office. He was sweet like that and did nice stuff all the time! Thanks, coach!

Once your template is taped down, cover it with wax paper, and tape them nice and tight. We don’t want wrinkles messing up our designs.

Next, with your green icing, trace the shamrocks. I used my 15-Second Icing for these. Cover as many or as few as you want but make a lot of extras. Sometimes they break when you remove them from the wax paper.

Once you get the shamrock royal icing transfers piped, let them dry completely or overnight.

Are you ready to have some fun? This is my favorite part! Gently remove the tape from the wax paper. Then, carefully peel off the shamrock royal icing transfers one at a time.

I hate to tell you this, but not all of the shamrock transfers will survive. Some of them will break and that’s okay. That is why we make extras.  Don’t cry over spilled milk or broken shamrocks. They’re easy to make so just keep piping.
