Last week I had a request for a graduation cake. The graduate had a huge list of activities and was accepted to the University Of Florida. His High School colors and UF’s colors did not work well so I decided to do separate the two a bit. I decided to make the cake with the Gator’s logo and then do a graduation hat and diploma. I’ve created the Gator’s logo before in royal icing but this time I wanted to make something that didn’t have to be removed. When the logo was made from royal icing it dries hard and is more like a plaque. I was told the celebration would be more of an open house type celebration. I decided to try my hand at a frozen buttercream transfer. I’ve tried a couple of these over the years without much success. I did a little research and watched a couple of videos and decided my failures in the past we due to the type of frosting I was using. It turns out, the buttercream you use needs to actually have butter in it! I was like most people when I started out, used everything Wilton and their frosting recipe didn’t have butter. I have changed my ways and I love my buttercream recipe. Here are the steps I took to create the frozen buttercream transfer:
