Here are the simple tools I used to create the textures I used in my flood consistency royal icing.
The  tip on greasing the molds helped - I used a spray and wiped the mold until a small amount remained. I also used the mold directly on the cookie surface with the bells , the dress and the gems of the ring.  However  with the cake and the inside of the ring I cut a circle out with parchment paper the size I needed and used that as my guide, filled the mold approximately the size of the circle , placed the parchment disc on it, tapped lightly, cleaned the sides and waited for it to dry. It easily peeled away from the mold.

What a wonderful and elegant application! Though I didn't grease my SugarVeil mats at all, and I found the icing came out easily as long as it was fully dry (overnight for me). I've never greased a silicone mold, I don't think, for any application.

But you suggested to lightly grease the mold but cautioned on fat breaking down RI so I very lightly greased the plastic and silicone and it peeled back effortlessly!   So thank you. The wax paper was easy in its own.

Iโ€™ve been MIA so it was nice participating in this!

So great to see you here too! I think @Sweet Prodigy said that, especially the part about fat breaking down royal icing. I've never greased a silicone mold. I have lightly greased acetate sheets, and it helps a little, but I don't do it regularly either because it's an added step and I don't find it adds that much. (I also don't think greasing is going to break down very thick icing like what I used, perhaps only delay drying time - though I am not sure, and would want to test this before saying so definitively.) But I am glad greasing worked for you. I just wanted to make clear it's not a work habit of mine.

My bad , I didnโ€™t see the end of your quote and thought the suggestion came from you. I will correct that.

Yes, it was I who had mentioned this. I have lightly greased acetate sheets as well, and have found that it does help with more heavily flooded transfers. I have also accidentally applied a little too much grease to my acetate. It was a few years back, and I remember it ruined my transfer, which is why I cautioned that a small amount should be used and tested first.

Thanks for the tip @Sweet Prodigy! And thank you for all you do keep us on our toes!

These wedding cookies look stunning. The combination of colors, textures, and design work so harmoniously together. At first glance, I couldn't figure out how you got such a fine texture on the bell cookie. Placing your textured material on top of the cookie was such a smart idea. What I also love is how your decorative accents compliment the textures so perfectly. Excellent work!

Iโ€™m so happy you like what I did. I enjoyed the process.  Thank you for the challenge!
