Wax Paper Image

Wax Paper Image
When you don't have a kopycake projector you can still make an image on to a cake. Below will be the steps that I did before I got a projector..
I hope this helps you too..

You will need piping gel parchments bags your image
your cake. ( I did not have a cake so I have used a iced
cake board as my cake to show you how to do this.)

Here is your image one is the right way and one is the wrong way
You will have to make your image in mirrored image so its the wrong
way when your doing your image but when you turn it on to the cake its
the right way.. I had posted both photos so you can see.

This is your mirrored image with the wax paper over it
you want to tape the top and bottom so it done move.
You will want to turn your wax paper the other way of the roll
so it don't roll in on you .

This is the piping gel
in this step by step I have colored the piping gel so your able
to see what I was doing. But when you do this your going to
want to keep it clear.

I used a parchment bag that was half of the regular size.
I have put tip number 2 in this one its going to depend on your
Image as to what you will want to use..
As you can see I have only put about a Tablespoon in to the bag
most of the time that is about all your going to need.

Like I said I used red so you were able to see as for clear
would have been hard in these steps to see. After you had
outlined the whole thing your now going to take a knife and slid
it to cut the tape off the top and the bottom.
Your now going to turn it over on to the cake..
Making sure where you want it first as your not going to be able to move it.
Be careful when you turn it over that it is done slowly and that your don't fold
the wax paper in to each other.

Once you have it turn over on to your cake your going to easily rub your hand
over it to make the piping gel outline now be on the cake. Lift the top of the wax paper making sure that you have it your going to pull it off towards you and toss
it in the trash.

This is what your outline is going to look like on your cake once you have
wiped your hand over it and you have pulled the wax paper off.

Now your going to outline your piping gel with the color your going to use
to outline your image. I used Black so it would stand out but you can use
black also when outlining. Now your going to take and fill your image in
with either glaze frosting or buttercream frosting .. Your going to make it
very thin.. To do this you can add karo syrup or water. You want it to be
in a flowing thinness.

Once you fill your image this is what its going to look like. Remember that you
Can see my red outlining but if you were using clear your not going to see it as
much..

Add your border and writing if you so choose to and your done..
This is what it looks like when its all done..
