I have been doing a lot of experimenting with cocoa butter painting to make my own transfer sheets for decorating cakes and truffles etc. For the one you see here I painted white and red cocoa butter onto acetate, let it dry then spread tempered dark chocolate over the painting. I let the chocolate partially set up then marked off squares with a sharp knife. I sandwiched the scored acetate between two sheetpans and refrigerated them for about an hour.
I really like the way it turned out. Making your own transfer sheets can save money and it is much more fun to make your own. The possibilities are endless.
