Hi Everyone,
I want to make some cupcakes with royal icing piped flowers. I am hoping to be able to ice the cupcakes in a soft icing - not buttercream but similar I guess.
Anyhow, I'm wondering if this will be a problem? I know that fat can interact with royal icing. I've never mixed the two before. I don't want to make buttercream roses.
Thanks!

If you're worried, I would wait to put the RI flowers on the cupcakes until shortly before serving. I've had more of a problem with moisture that grease, at least when the flowers were on the cake less than half a day or so.
I'm assuming you are planning to dry the flowers and then put them on the cupcakes, right?
I put dried royal flowers on a mother's day cake around the bottom. They were attached to the border.
It took about 2-3 days before they became as soft as the buttercream. I wouldn't say they melted into the icing...just noone would have known they were RI flowers.
