Hi Tiff,

I struggle with that sometimes. I found a tutorial at Corianne’s Custom Cookies that explains how she has used a piping icing to stop it. Find her tutorial here:

The answer to the caving in problem is found at the bottom of the post under “Cratering.” She has beautiful cookies and great tips on her site.
Hope this helps!
Lisa

Thank you for taking the time and pictures and share your amazing talent. You are a continued source of inspiration and help. Here’s my question. I’m making balloon transfers (like a bunch all together) and they keep caving in as they dry. Any tips on how to get that to stop? TIA!!!!

Hi Elizabeth,

Humidity is awful! It causes royal icing to do bad things! Humidity is not my friend! lol

I’m sorry your having issues with your icing colors bending. There are a few steps you can take to help prevent issues.
The first thing I would do is to tape the wax or parchment paper really well to a flat surface. If the paper can move it will cause bending as it dries.

Also, dry them in front of a fan. It will help them dry faster and give them a nice shiny finish.

As far as your busses pulling away from the paper, I’m not sure I’ve seen that before. Do you have a picture you can share with me? If you can, email it to lisa@thebearfootbaker.com.

Hope this helps and if not email me. We will figure this out together! 😉

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Pamela,

I use them as decorations on cookies and other baked goods like cupcakes and trail mixes.

I use lady bugs on flower cookies, eyes on animals or face cookies, carrots for snowman noses and all kinds of things.

Here are all the Royal Icing transfers and free patterns if you want to make some of your own: http://thebearfootbaker.com/royal-icing-transfers/

Do you have any cakes, etc. where you’ve used lots of these transfers?

thanks
