I want to make some royal icing flowers to put on sugar cookies for my sister's wedding shower favors. Since I have to make about 100 of these I figure I could get a head start with making the flowers and then "gluing" them on later. What should I make them on? I was thinking wax paper and tried some last night. They stuck and broke in my fingers when trying to lift them off. D'oh! Any suggestions would be helpful.

~Thanks~

Wax paper is what I have used. Only problem I've had it the paper sticking the drying surface, but not the flower sticking to the wax paper. Sorry can't be more hepful.

Try dusting the wax paper with cornstarch or a mixture of powdered sugar and constarch! happy baking, Missey

Thank you both for your replies I'll be sure to give the cornstarch a try MrsMissey.

What kind of flowers are you talking about? Drop flowers? I do those all the time when I have leftover royal. I do them on wax paper and make sure they dry for a day or so before I take them off (if I don't just store them on it in a "tupperware" container).

I figured out that my problem was drying time and that I wasn't giving the flowers enough. Thank you all for your suggestions.
