I am going to be piping some lace designs to be attached to the edge of a gumpaste hankerchief. I was wondering which was a stronger icing to use to pipe the lace pieces: royal or color flow? I am going to be traveling quite a distance with them in the car (they will be well padded) and want to take all precautions to ensure they arrive in tact! I will not be attaching them to the gumpaste until I get there.

Thank you everyone!

Colorflow is enhanced royal icing. It's the stronger of the two.

I was taught egg-white royal is the strongest. My oriental stringwork cake, done with a tip 0, held fine for the trips it made. Made it 5 years ago and it's still OK.

I was always told the color flow is just a stronger version of royal, but i cant find any difference.

I have also heard that color flow is stronger, but I couldn't confirm that from experience! I've only used royal.
