Woodcuts could have been used to mold panels for great pies, but there are 
some technical difficulties with being able to seperate the paste from the 
mold.  Also, I have seen no indication they were used in that manner. 
Woodcuts were used as molds to decorate gingerbread, other cakes and some 
breads (such as the Orthodox eucharist).
