I haven't worked with royal icing in a while. Can it be painted with :
a) luster dust mixed with lemon extract?
b) food coloring markers?
c) gel food colors?

My instinct is that anything too wet will break it down. Any help and hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've painted mine with gel colors watered down with clear vanilla extract. You have to be very light and precise though, too much with break it down. I've only made it a few times but this has been successful for me.
