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

I am doing a wedding for my brother.. he wants me to use leaves, acorns, and pumpkins, for the ice in the punch... if i wrap aluminum foil around the cookie cutter to hold the punch in place will it freeze to the side or come out easy! ??|||Honestly? No. No matter what you do, water is too, well, fluid, to be contained by aluminum foil. There 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 gel. Now, using iced water or punch, remove the weight and pour the water in 3/4 of the way to filling the mold, then refreeze. Its a crap shoot, though, as the gel will sometimes loosen. After, to loosen them from your mold, just set the pan on a warmed surface, and let a little bit melt...they'll come right out. Immediately refreeze in single layer so they don't stick together.


There are some really neat ways to do such things...one that works the best is to use candy molds. They are relatively inexpensive...and have the added bonus of being widely available! Afterwards, you can always have an adventure in making your own candy.


Actually, 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!|||It's certainly worth a try. I think the hard part would be keeping the tray level while the punch freezes. Also, unless you've got a big freezer and a lot of cookie cutters, you'll probably only be able to make a few of these each day, and you'll spend weeks getting enough of them together for the party. Better get busy.|||push the tin foil in from the top of the cookie cutter like a garbage bag into a bin, then fill with punch and freeze.





try it once first to make sure it comes out right.|||Look for an icecube mold (:|||I doubt it will be worth the trouble. good luck.
