I got this brilliant idea for the grooms cake I'm making for Sat. I want to put standing on top of the cake the bride and groom's last name piped in chocolate. I got the idea of chocolate piped on top from this site. I'm worried now since I have my design in the freezer that once it sits on top for a while that it will start to soften and fall. I know the AC will be on in the reception hall but still I'm not sure if I should even try this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! ![]()

Use candy melts instead of chocolate (wilton, merckens, make'n'mold). They are more shelf and temperature stable than regular chocolate.

Hi,
More info please.
Do you mean something like a standing monogram?
Piped icing monogram (but in this case, the whole name) in sort of like 3-d such as the following pictures?

Such as taking a monogram, placing Acetate or wax paper over the design and piping over it with chocolate? Is that what you mean?
This allows freestanding chocolate designs
I'm with JoAnneB - I'd do it in royal icing. No worries with that and they can always take it home as a keepsake - store it in an air tight container and place it on their 1st anniversary cake. Because it's for Saturday - you can speed up the drying technique by placing the RI design under a heat lamp and drying quickly that way (24 hrs virsus 48. I've also heard of people on here that have placed the item in their oven with the light on (I've never tried that idea but it sounds like it would work). Give it a shot. ![]()
