Hello again,
I am making the royal icing trellis for a cake and I am wondering if there is a way to dry them quickly.
Thanks

If your trellises are in manageable pieces and you have a food dehydrator, you can try putting them in there. This works well for gingerbread pieces you have decorated but before the house is assembled. But remember, overdrying can cause excessive brittleness, thus weakening the structural integrity of your trellis and making it more susceptible to breakage.
you can also put them in the oven with just the light on- just be careful to not forget you have them in there..don't turn the oven on LOL...I did some ri flowers once and it helped to speed up the process..still took some time but faster than just sitting them on the counter to dry
A big THANKS!! to everyone for your info I appreciate it!!
I need to learn to be patient 
As a caterer for quite a few years I have always relied on my speed, I'm new to decorating, I may have to start drinking Nyquil instead of coffee.
Thanks again!!
