of an image made out of royal icing i outlined & flooded on a parchment paper..i did it tonight but i'm not sure if it will be dry enough by tomorrow noon to peel off paper & transfer to cake..can i use my hair dryer set at its lowest?? ..thanks

I don't know if this will work on royal icing but I dry gumpaste quickly by placing it in the oven with the light on. The bulb gives off just enough heat to hasten the drying without melting it.

The hair dryer will help. The best way is as stephaniescakenj said....the light in the oven on overnight.
Next time you make colorflow item....make it on plastic wrap instead of parchment.....it will come off much easier w/o braking

Do you have a food dehydrator? That might work.

I leave mine under a desk lamp overnight and it dries them out really well

I put mine in the oven. I turn on the oven and when it gets warm in there I turn off the oven. I keep the door closed. I let it cool off, then I do it all over again. After a few cycles of that, even fondant that is 3 / 16 thick is hard.

I've tried to use a food dehydrator. I don't think it works well. Mine gets reallllllllly hot.

You could get a box fan, lay it on its side and put air filters on it.... ala Alton browns food dehydrator method...

I found the oven light is best.

hmm. mine was an old one i dug out from the utility room. lol.

good luck with your temp control!

thanks to you all ...luckily, the next day, it was dry already but when i tried to remove it from the paper, it began breaking ..what did i do wrong, perhaps it wasn't that dry as i thought it was? ...kakeladi, i will try the plastic wrap next time,thanks... i will try to attach the pix here.. i had no more time to redo it so i just left the paper & just cut it around the image & placed it on the cake
