i would like to make a royal icing run out for the first time, namely a small guitar to stand on top of a fondant cake. I have heard that wiltons make color flow to strengthen the royal icing, but would like to know if this is made under another name, or how to strengthen any other way. or perhaps royal icing will hold up on its own? can anyone advise me pleeeease?

Color flow is another product of wilton's. It dries harder and shinier than r/i. You don,t mix the two. I do think r/i will be strong enough for your guitar project. hth

Actually read the label of the meringue powder you use because i believe that cream of tartar is already added to it.
