Royal Icing timing
Asked on 12 Dec 2018 by AOD
I plan to royal ice my Christmas cake on Saturday.
How long do I leave the icing to dry out and should it then be kept in a tin or cake box? Thanks

Hello,
When you have covered your cake with royal icing leave it uncovered somewhere where it’s unlikely to get damaged for about 12 hours then it can go in an airtight tine until needed. The sooner you eat it the less hard the icing will be. Glycerin in the icing reduces the hardening but over time it will get dryer.
Kind regards
Lindsey
