Wilton Flower Making Foil....difficult To Remove

I don't know what kind of foil paper you're using, but I always use Reynolds non-stick foil in my lily nails. First, I put a dab of floral gum in the bottom of the nail so the foil won't spin around and pop out while I'm piping, yet I can still pull it out easily after the flower is made.

I used the foil required for Wilton III class that was on our syllabus. Our instructor said she would help us get it off but she really couldn't. Some foil still remained on the flowers, therefore making it nonedible! A student in the class suggested that we try reynolds nonstick after we attempted multiple times to remove the foil from the flower. However, I still have Lilies I made that I can't remove the foil. I don't understand why Wilton would have a product like this and it doesn't work! It has got to be a way to remove the foil from all of those flowers I made!
I agree with everyone about the renoylds non stick. It works like a charm!
Try smearing a small amount of Crisco on your aluminum foil prior to making your royal icing flowers
thanks, I will try that the next time as well as the nonstick reynolds. How do I get the foil off the flowers I have already made?
I would be afraid to put crisco on the foil, as any grease will make the royal icing break down!
I spray a napkin lightly with veg oil then wipe the foil (while it's in the flower mold). A light film like this won't break down the icing. Remove them after they're set (maybe a few hours). Make extras---there's always breakage.
I didn't know that there was a non-stick foil available; I've never seen it. I'll look for it and give it a try.
Were you using the candy foil from wilton? That is what my inst. suggested and i had now problem. I also smoothed it as much as possible in the lily nail before I made the flower by using the other one and I pressed and turned it until it was pretty smooth. Hope this helps.
Hello...WMI x 10 yrs here. 
You can put vegetable oil or Crisco on your foil before piping your royal icing flowers to make them release easily from the foil.
Royal icing will break down only if grease is INCORPORATED into the icing as it is mixed. Otherwise, piping royal icing on top of vegetable oil or shortening is fine.
As for your current flowers, I really have no suggestion. Sorry!
