Hi! I do a lot of royal icing (RI) transfers and then put them on a wet flooding icing. I let the RI transfers dry completely. I have been having problems when I'm doing a lighter color on a darker flood icing. It will "bleed" through. I've tried to wait a few minutes after applying the wet icing to let them set a bit, but not working. I even had  a problem with this one attached and it was a darker transfer on a light orange wet. Over the day, the orange started bleeding through the blue as you can see. I'm wondering if I should just put it on using the dry method instead when doing lighter colors on darker backgrounds. Any suggestions would be great!

I'd suggest using as thick an icing as possible for the base; the thicker it is, the faster it will dry, leading to less bleeding. Or, do a completely dry-on-dry application if that does not work.
