Since Toba's glace has milk in it, does it need to be refrigerated?

No it does not have to be refrigerated.

Thanks! Didn't think so but the milk in things always makes me nervous.

When i make it, i refrigerate it because i find it can last longer and taste great.

I'm refrigerating the bowls I have not used yet, but do you refrigerate the cookies with it on?

If the cookies are to be stored for long term, i'll freeze them.

When the cookies are drying, i leave them at room temp because if you refrigerate them, they will crack and get splotchy.

Thank you both for your words of advice. This is the first time I'm using Toba's glace and I read the tips from CC but nothing is like actually doing something to learn. I have my bowls of icing in the refrigerator (I have three little kids so I'm constantly being interrupted so it takes a long time to decorate the cookies). As I'm decorating the cookies, I'm leaving them sit out. I just finished the detail work today so plan to let them sit out until tomorrow and then freeze them. Is that right?

On a few cookies I've noticed spotches but I didn't use Bright White food color since I didn't have any. You can see them in my photos (they are the only ones since all my other photos disappeared today).

Should I leave out the glace before it gets on the cookie? That's the only time I refrigerated it.

I would recommend letting them sit a couple days if you're going to try to freeze them. Without the brite white, you'll be taking a chance on the icing getting cloudy and spotty.

this icing just LOOKS like it would taste better than RI. i want to try it! does anybody know if it hardens enough so you can package individually and ship? can they be stacked on one another? they look delish!!!!

cakegirl... they are GREAT for shipping. I do it all the time and they arrive in perfect shape every time.
