I've seen this technique on your blog and thought I'd 'remembered' it all. Started outlining 9 Monster High skulls last night for the black parts on the face and bow. All went well. It's been drying for almost 24 hours now and I was about to flood in the bow and face when I thought I'd re-check if I was doing everything correctly. Turns out I've made a boo boo, and a huge one at that! I forgot to put shortening on the acetate sheet. Pah! Now I need to re-do the little blighters again now. Oh well, you live and learn and learn from mistakes along the way, I guess I won't be making this mistake again, lol. I've only got 2 days left to make a 2 tier cake and matching cookies. Looks like it's going to turn into a 1 tier cake now! hehe.

Let them dry at room temperature; they won't dry well in the fridge. If you like, watch my video on drying cookies decorated with royal icing (essentially the same as a royal icing transfer)... it' s on my youtube channel.

This post will be relatable if you live in a humid environment: http://sweetopia.net/2011/07/how-to-avoid-spots-on-icing/ and this one for bleeding: http://sweetopia.net/2009/10/how-to-prevent-your-icing-from-bleeding-7-tips/ You will get a slightly dipped look as well, if you put a dry transfer on top of a wet icing. (the weight of it makes it 'fall' in a bit... kind of like pressing a pillow). It looks fine, it's just a different look than sitting on top of a dry icing. Personally, I put mine on dry icing, juuuust in case. I don't feel like taking a risk, most of the time, but that's just me. I hope this answer isn't too late for you! Somehow I missed it in my email. If you did already do them, how did it go?
