Can you put royal icing in a chocolate mold?
Has anyone ever tried this????

I've never tried but I would think it would just crack once you try to remove it.

I don't think this would work. Even if you used a flexible silicone mold the royal would still crack. What is you are trying to do?

Thanks, I thought about that but I thought maybe there was a way to get around that.

I am trying to get away from having to write on my cakes. My writing is TERRIBLE!!!
I have molds with words so I thought maybe there was some way to do it.

When I do royal Icing flowers our teacher had us lightly grease the foil the flowers were formed on with solid shortning. I myself would try this with the candy molds . Then they would just drop out. or drop them out when not dryed onto wax paper. Hmm Im going to have to try this now. The possibiltys are endless if it works.

ok- I think I am fgoing to have to try that. So many molds, so many possiblities!!

Good luck to us! I have a new mold i just got in the mail today and to think I was just going to try chocolate.

I think I've read you can add glycerin to royal icing to soften it. Is that right?

I tried the ways I suggested and I couldn't get them to work , Did you have any luck? They looked really good in the mold untill I tried to take them out. Just thought Id let you know.

I also tried yesterday! NO LUCK!!
There has to be a way to do this! I am going to keep trying to expirement!

Could you mold MMF instead?

how about using melted chocolate/candy melts instead?

You could always get word or letter stamps. Wilton has a message press where you put together the letters and make up your own words.

My writing stinks too, so for my last cake I printed the wording out on my printer (with extra space between the letters), taped that page to the table and then taped a piece of waxed paper over it and traced the letters. Ended up looking great and the letters came right off the paper when dry with very little breakage. (Although I did an extra set to be sure).

Actually when I tried , it was the mad scientist in me! It would be great to be able to mold anything.... just cant give this up..too challenging.
