How to draw on a cake using fine detail and precision. Tracing Method with Wax Paper.

Learn how I create custom designs using this trace on wax paper technique.

Once you know what image you want on the cake, create a print out on Microsoft Word. I use coloring pages found on Google. Make sure the image is the right size for your cake. For example, if you're decorating an 8inch cake, you might want to use a 6inch image. print it out.

Place a piece of wax paper over the image and trace it with a permanent marker. then flip both the paper and wax paper so that you aren't putting icing on the marker and so that the page is blank to make your tracing stand out.

Color your icing and then start Piping, following the lines you drew on the wax paper, starting with the outline. once you have all your colors done, put a layer of white over all of it.

Flip it and place on the cake where you want it. give it a gentle rub to stick nicely. put the cake in the fridge with the wax paper still on it.

Once the cake is cooled, the icing will be hard. slowly peel off the wax paper.

and... Voila!

Let me know in the comments if you have questions or if you tried it, how did it go for you?

I'll try to post more videos that show this technique better.

Thanks and take care!!
