icon_cry.gif I am attempting a spider web for the side of my cake and I can't seem to build it up strong enough for the web not to crumble when I try and remove it from the parchment paper. Any ideas on how to make it stronger?? THanks

What about using the white candy melts instead?

Sorry, I hit submit before I was done. Another option is to use a silicone mat (like a Silpat), they should peel off of the silicone easier than the parchment paper.

Pipe your royal on plastic cling wrap (Saran). It will practically fall right off. Also, make sure your royal is well-beaten. If it's starting to deflate and separate, that will weaken your webs. Use tip 2 or larger with a full line. Don't move your tip too fast.

so.... one of my 'wonderful' cats took a leap right on top of the web when I stepped away. LOL Still, I did make a cake and, while I would have loved for the web to be a part of it, I think it still turned out ok- this is only my third cake I have ever made
