- Enjoy this tutorial of how I make royal icing transfers for your cookie decorating! You can read more about them here, and see the full materials list:

Royal icing transfers are icing motifs that you can make weeks (sometimes months if stored correctly) ahead of time to use on future projects! When you go to craft stores and see icing embellishments for purchase, those are essentially icing transfers or sometimes candies. There is no shame in buying premade decos!
Making your own can be fun, but depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, it does take some time. If you have a large batch of cookies you need to do, and you want to try your hand at icing transfers, scheduling time weeks or months in advance to work on the details can save you time in the long run.
The steps for making transfer is simple:
1. Print out your template.
2. Attach tracing layer to template (I like to use Washi tape on the edges) for piping your icing directly onto-you can use any of the following methods:
- - Parchment Paper Sheets - precut, easy, the most accessible - here are the top ones from Amazon: amzn.to/2lzqNrv. (this is where I buy mine)
If you are piping onto parchment paper, do NOT put these in a dehydrator to quick dry as the parchment curls and your transfer will come out uneven on the bottom and your transfer may not dry flat, causing breakage with adhering transfer to cookie
- - Clear Transparency Paper: amzn.to/2xIyyy7 (which I often also use in my Silhouette machine to cut my own stencils): this is my favorite way to pipe transfers. The material is super clear, I can cut the transparency paper to size, and they are sturdy enough so I can stick these into the dehydrator to speed up the drying process, and the do not curl as the icing dries. For recommendations on dehydrators, please see my resource blog post: borderlandsbakery.com/cookie-....
- - Clear Sheet Protectors such as these: amzn.to/2lkl74v
3. Pipe your pattern on the transfer medium/tracing layer.
4. Let fully dry (I like to wait at least 24 hrs, leaving it uncovered), peel/pop off GENTLY; store in an airtight container until ready to use. Fully dried icing decorations can be stored for months. No need to fridge or freeze these.
When ready to you, you may adhere these directly onto freshly piped icing flood layer (for the smoothest look) or you can also dab a little glue on the back to adhere to a dried surface- up to you, and also depends on the shape, size, etc. Play with it.

Hello. I never or, very very rarely write reviews, but I had to write for two reasons.
1. I'm grateful for this information. Thanks so much for guiding us.
2. The music is quite painful while also being unnecessary.
Thanks for your goodwill in sharing knowledge and your craft with us. Bright Cheers, and Thanks Again!!
Man, that music is driving me nuts. It's like an old western movie bar scene!!!
I was thinking the same haha
Loved your color selection.
great tutorial , your nails are so shiny
Hi 😊 Absolutely beautiful 🌸 great techniques and wonderful sharing 👍🏻 THANK YOU SO MUCH 🌈
Очень красивые пряники , понравились. Хорошая идея ,дизайн .
Please kill the music, I have to have captions on to know what you are saying. Very loud for background music
Thanks for the feedback.
@@BorderlandsBakery You have one of the best videos on royal icing...I've watched hours and hours of videos to help with teaching my grandchildren. Thank you for considering my suggestion. This is the first time I've written on a youtube site.
@@megkallas8117 I'm very excited that I prompted you to engage on youtube!! Hopefully hiring a videographer will allow me to provide more good content for you. Happy holidays!
Please tell me that how you make it's colour what ingredients you use for making colour
@@BorderlandsBakery I love the fun music. ❤️
Gracias!!!
Please tell me that what ingredients you put to make the cookies
I would like to make royal icing cupcake toppers... What's the storage life for them?
These are so cute!! Thank you for the video:) How long do these keep for and how do you recommend storing them?
Check out my blog post-- linked in the description!
This is what she says:
Let fully dry (I like to wait at least 24 hrs, leaving it uncovered), peel/pop off GENTLY; store in an airtight container until ready to use. Fully dried icing decorations can be stored for months. Not need to fridge or freeze these.

Good VDO.like!
Most websites suggest transfers need to dry for 8-11 hours. But even after 11 hours my transfers are still wet in the core. So I’m going to try 24 hours! :)
I honestly feel recipe, size of transfers and climate (humidity) play a HUGE part-- I know people who have also "overbeaten" their icing and it never dries, so figuring out what works best for YOU absolutely key :)
Puedes secarlos en el horno, a temperatura super baja y con la puerta abierta
She actually puts in her video 24 hours to dry
😍😍😍
How funny that the first review that popped up was almost exactly what I planned on saying! The amazing information that you provide is so helpful. I’m glad you did the video for that very reason! But change the background music it is so horribly painful to the ears!! thanks again for your generosity and sharing your knowledge with those of us that don’t have it
Yeah this was from years ago and we don’t do music anymore.
Your video is great and so cute! Every time I've tried to making royal icing transfers, they always break or crack. Any recommendations?
It kinda depends- sizing, technique, thickness of icing all matters. Take a video and DM it to me on IG :)
How do you make them so they don't break? I made mine thick but even decorating them some were cracking from lightly touching
You are so talented!
Do You have the royal icing recipe? Did not find it
Thank you for don't this in real time
Question: what size cookie cutter do you use for the cookie bars? I love the idea and think my Mom would love them for her ladies tea party!
Approx 4x1 and I got the 4 pc cutter from sweet sugar belle :)
@@BorderlandsBakery thank you!!!
Do you not find the parchment paper to wrinkle with the moisture? What if you were to make larger shapes?
Yes-- it can wrinkle, pipe onto cello bags or as shown in some parts of the video, transparency paper, or even use sheet protectors -- I talk about the options in my blog post: borderlandsbakery.com/cookie-decorating-resources/royal-icing-transfers-endless-possibilities/
Hello wonderful video, how far in advance can these be made and also how do you store them long term? Can they be frozen?
Months! store in a cool dry place. no need to freeze
@@BorderlandsBakery Thank you so much 😊❤
Hello. How do you know what consistency in the fixing to use for the transfers ? Thank you! Your work is amazing
Hi Maria, like a loose toothpaste :)
@@BorderlandsBakery thank you 😄😄
tried to find your instructions on making the v cut out on the piping bag. Got a message on IG saying it has been removed. Where else can I find it? thank you
Should be here in the channel: ua-cam.com/video/IwdNWAePntw/v-deo.html
My royal icing transfers keeps sticking to the parchment paper is there a reason for that? Also should I use a little shortening on the parchment paper before piping the decoration?
Try wax paper.
@@marikiemarie7622 thank you
@lamirada90638 no problem. I had the same issues. Different brands of parchment paper was casuing an issue. I had better results with wiltons parchment paper. However. The wax paper of all brands hasn't failed me so I still with that.
Qual é o tamanho de cada desenho ??
How to dry them?? I have to store in freezer or in room temperature overnight for dry ??
You can't put them in the fridge. Royal icing needs to try with airflow. Room temp overnight is great. You can also use a dehydrator (see my other videos)
@@BorderlandsBakery thanks a lot 😍😍🙏🙏🌹🌹😘😘😘
Due to lockdown parchment paper is not available in my town, so I used A4 size paper and brush the paper with Vegetable oil ,and make some designs with Royal icing is it okay??????
Hi. May I know the recipe for the royal icing ?
Go to her website. You will have to purchase her recipes.
Hi. I want to ask . Every time mine are stick on butter paper after dry. What's the reason please guide me
what is "butter paper"? Sorry, not a term I am familiar with so I googled it. Sounds like greaseproof paper, which is NOT parchment paper.
Try using actual parchment paper, cello bags or sheet protectors per my video.
@@BorderlandsBakery ok thanks
Me encantaría que tuviera subtitulos en español 💟
HELP! Whats the recipe for the transfer frosting? 😭 I swear i cannot find ANY for the life of me.😢
Any royal icing recipe works :) - consistency is key regardless of recipe :)
Where is your recipe for royal icing?
Now it is not possible to get parchment paper or wax paper so today I make a parchment by myself,I brush vegetable oil on A4 size paper and make my design on that paper ... But I'm. Confused how to dry them ? I have to keep in fridge or left in room temperature overnight?? Please reply me please
Please also ready this: borderlandsbakery.com/cookie-decorating-resources/royal-icing-transfers-endless-possibilities/ I talk about drying a lot.
They have lots at walmart
I cant hear you over the music
Can you please share a proper recipe of royal icing??? Today I tried my hands on making Royal icing by using 3 egg whites ,1 tablespoon of line juice and 200grm icing sugar is my recipe is okay for Royal icing Please reply it's so urgent 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You added lime juice?
Lime juice? Never in my life heard that one. Lol and just use powered sugar, meringue powder and water.. no need for the other stuff or eggs... it's over complicated
I enjoyed watching this and learning your techniques. However, 11 minutes of the same 16 bars of ragtime music over and over was enough to about send me over the edge! LOL
Good thing a lot has changed since we were noob at youtube 🤣🤣
Where can I buy these transfers please replie
We don't sell transfers. But you can check Etsy or Google.
What?
The music is way too loud and why while you are speaking?
Couldn’t see the video. Music is terrible.
Thankfully we've come a long way since 3 years ago when we first made this to try and share our knowledge and thanks for (trying) to watch.
Music is nerve racking...clicking off
