If I pipe royal icing on a cupcake cake iced in buttercream, will the royal icing hard very much. I am trying to see if I can do a transfer right on to the cake instead of doing a BCT. I have a pretty simple design that I can outline in buttercream and them flood with royal icing. I am just wondering if it will set up too hard. Any thoughts?? Sure wish I could afford an airbrush set up right about now, LOL!!

THANKS!

I think you'd be asking for trouble since the buttercream will break down hardened royal icing as it is--I don't think it would set up properly. I wouldn't risk it myself.
