Transfer sheets carry a printed design in coloured cocoa butter that moves onto chocolate as it sets, while texture sheets press a raised pattern into the surface instead. Between them they decorate collars, shards, plaques, bars, bark and bonbons, along with buttercream and any other fat-based product.
Which Sheet Should I Choose?
Pick a transfer sheet when you want colour and pattern: the designs run from all year round prints such as Ladybird, Venice and Scotty Tartan 2 to seasonal sheets for Christmas, Easter, Valentine's and Halloween. Pick a texture sheet, such as Bark Effect, Woven or Hearts, when you want relief rather than colour. Either side of a texture sheet can be used, for two different effects.
How Do I Make Decorated Chocolate Buttons?
Pipe tempered chocolate onto the rough side of a transfer sheet, then slide a palette knife under the sheet to spread each button. Once set, peel the sheet away and the design stays on the chocolate, ready to top cakes and cupcakes or to sell on their own. Clear Strips for Cakes and Patisserie sit in this section too.
