Question:

can you freeze punch to make ice in a metal cookie cutter?

I am doing a wedding for my brotherhe wants me to use leaves, acorns, and pumpkins, for the ice in the punchif i wrap aluminum foil around the cookie cutter to hold the punch in place will it freeze to the side or come out easy! ??

Answer:

Honestly? NoNo matter what you do, water is too, well, fluid, to be contained by aluminum foilThere is a way to seal them using some gel icing.first you place the cookie cutters down on a flat cookie pan, then seal all around the outside using the gel.weight them down and put in the freezer to freeze the gelNow, using iced water or punch, remove the weight and pour the water in 3/4 of the way to filling the mold, then refreezeIts a crap shoot, though, as the gel will sometimes loosenAfter, to loosen them from your mold, just set the pan on a warmed surface, and let a little bit melt.they'll come right outImmediately refreeze in single layer so they don't stick togetherThere are some really neat ways to do such things.one that works the best is to use candy moldsThey are relatively inexpensive.and have the added bonus of being widely available! Afterwards, you can always have an adventure in making your own candyActually, for a wedding where fall is the theme, they can add a load of charm by using them for making candy to put on the tables or for your favors!
