Chocolate Transfers Sheets around a Cake

A quick, elegant way to decorate a cake.

Ice your cake (shown is a 6" round, but you may use any size) with any icing you choose. Chocolate buttercream is delicious! Cut the chocolate transfer sheet in a strip long enough to fit around the cake. You will need to tape strips together to make it long enough-- tape smooth sides. The strip should then but cut to the height of the cake. Place the cut transfer strip on top of a silicone mat, or parchment paper, raised side up. Place the medium size perfection strips on both sides of the transfer sheet. Melt one pound of chocolate or candy coating. Pour over half of the transfer sheet, spreading it to nearly the edge. Use a cookie sheet with a straight edge and drag over the perfection strips (step-by-step picture below)- these strips allow for consistent thickness. Allow to set up until it is almost set (generally 5-10 minutes). Don't let it set too long, or it will crack when you try to put it around the cake. Quickly pick up the strip and put around the cake. Let set for 20-30 minutes. Remove strip.

Cake shown is 6"
To make the top, cut the transfer sheet into a 7" square.
 Place the thinnest size perfection strips on both sides of
the square. Pour melted coating over the transfer sheet.
Use a cookie sheet with a straight edge and drag over the
perfection strips.  Allow to set up until it is almost set
(generally 5-10 minutes).  Cut with a 6" cutter and allow
to set several more minutes.  Peel off transfer sheet and
place circle on iced cake.  Finish the cake with a shell
border and garnish with strawberries.

Garnishing with Transfers

Cutting out geometric shapes is a fun way to decorate a basic dessert.  These can be made several weeks in
advance and are a quick garnish for cakes and desserts.

Place a chocolate transfer sheet on top of a silicone mat, or parchment paper. Place the thinnest size perfection strips on both sides of the transfer sheet. Melt one pound of chocolate or candy coating. Pour over half of the transfer sheet, spreading it to nearly the edge. Use a cookie sheet with a straight edge and drag over the perfection strips (step-by-step picture below)- these strips allow for consistent thickness. Allow to set up until it is not tacky anymore (generally 5-10 minutes). For straight lines, such as the triangles, use a pastry cutter. For perfect circles, use circle cookie cutters in a variety of sizes. Allow to set up for several more minutes (20-30 more minutes) and remove shapes.

Transfers on Candy, Cookies and Crackers

Crackers dipped in chocolate are a wonderful combination of sweet and salty. Sandwich cookies are also a delicious treat dipped in chocolate. Shown below is commercial caramel shaped in a square, but this method can be used on any treat you want coated in chocolate. Something with a flat surface, such as caramel squares or cookies is ideal.

Cut transfer sheets in 2" squares. Melt chocolate or candy coating. Cut caramel and form into 1" x 1/2" squares. Using a dipping fork, dip caramels in melted chocolate candy coating. Set on a silicone mat, or parchment paper. Immediately place a 2" transfer square, textured side down, on top of the dipped caramel. Allow to set up for several minutes. Remove when set.
