How Do You Keep Royal Icing From Sticking To Waxed Paper
Decorating By giggysmack Updated 26 Sep 2008 , 8:05pm by BlakesCakes
Hello everyone
I've been having trouble with this and i see on Martha she just says slide the dried ri to the edge of the table and let the paper fall off????
So far I haven't even come close to this techinque.
so I'm wondering
How do you keep Royal Icing from sticking to waxed paper or parchment paper.
I've tried both waxed paper and parchment paper with similar results. Should the paper be treated first?
Thanks in advance
I don't treat the paper.. but make sure your RI is realllllllly dry.
I use an icing ofset spatula. I ALWAYS make extras as well to allow for breakage.
I do a very light spray of canned oil like Pam or something and wipe it off with a paper towel so it still has some on it but not much.

Me, too! Learned that in the Master's and also the Lambeth/Australian classes at Wilton.
When removing the items, take a piece of paper and run it under the item. Even tiny lace points piped with a #1 tip will come off without breaking!

We rock!! 
high five!
I'm sure I learned that from Wilton over the years.
I use parchment paper instead of wax. I have never had a problem with sticking.
Yes, if you have parchment with a silicone finish on it (usually says it on the box/wrapper), it can work well, too. Only problem I find is that it may not be transparent enough to see fine lines, if there are fine lines in the pattern.
Oh, and cheap waxed paper is the best--it's super thin, so you can see thru it pretty well.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will try out some of these. taxnerd What is Reynold's Release?

Reynold's Release is non-stick aluminum foil. One side is marked to show that it's the non-stick side.
I've used it to pipe things freehand that I didn't need to see a pattern under and it's great--but be careful--it's really no stick & things can slide off of it easily with the slightest movement.
