Just a quick question.... a few weeks ago I made royal icing spikes to do the 'cactus cake' for my nana's birthday. They were on parchment paper and i put them in a cupboard to dry.

Unfortunately my dad was taken into hospital and her party was cancelled. I need to make this cake tomorrow and was wondering if I can still use the spikes. The have not been in an airtight container.. is this okay?

If I cant I am going to have to come up with a different cake as new spikes wont dry in time will they?

One the royal icing is dry, it keeps a very long time. (nearly forever)

They will be fine to use.

Thank you JoAnnB

In my class Wednesday, my instructor said that Royal is good to use until it grows mold. I think this would certainly apply to dry Royal as well. Good luck
