Working on my lighthouse cake for next weekend. Made the top as directed with gumpaste over half of the Wilton ball pan. I know it needs to dry for longer than 24 hours but it's stuck to the pan.

While I was forming it, the gumpaste kept sliding and moving. Any ideas how to remove it without breaking it??? Or when it is dry, will it come loose on its own??? TIA--Pam

Pam, It should come off easily once it is COMPLETELY dry. I think that's one of my biggest problems is removing my gumpaste flowers before they are completely dried. When they are completely dried I'll touch them lightly and they'll slide off the flower former. Just don't force it, if it doesn't budge it's not ready. HTH!
