I have a girlfriend that made these with her brownies years ago and they are still doing just fine.. I definately say you need to use the pins to secure the material..

I also found a site where you do not use pins but poke the material into the styrofoam with a butter knife. My daughter and I made some of these several years ago and they do not last well.
