Marie Belle transfer sheets

[Bentley]

Does anyone know the source of the transfer sheets used by the amazing Marie Belle Chocolate shop in NYC?  If I had to guess, I'd say Valrhona Signature is doing them, but it's just a guess.  They are so unique and beautiful.

I don't know the answer to your question, but must say they are beautiful. What intrigues me is that they seem to have overcome what I see as the major problem with transfer sheets--many colors, especially red, get washed out when they are applied to dark or milk chocolate. I have so many transfers that I can rarely use because I bought them before I realized that fact. And I am not going to coat them all in white (for one thing, it make them bend and the white flakes off--at least when I apply it). So I too would love to know the source of Marie Belle's.

They probably have titanium dioxide in the colours to make them opaque.

 

You could try spraying a very thin layer of white cocoa butter onto the transfer sheet to make the design show up on dark/milk but any negative space in the design would of course be white then.
