I just made a batch of Royal and can't use it all tonite. How long does it keep inthe fridge? I took a cake decorating class about 15 yrs ago and I think the instructor told us to put a damp paper towel on it and cover w/ plastic wrap... but now i'm not so sure?
I store mine in an airtight container at room temp.
Here's a good link: http://www.baking911.com/decorating/cakes_royalicing.htm
I store mine in a mason jar. I cover it with saran wrap & then screw on the lid. It's better to store it in a cabinet so that sunlight can't get to it. Especially if you have already colored it. The color will fade fast when light hits it.
I have never stored mine in the frig. I always thought you can't store it in the frig. Maybe someone else will know for sure or not.
Food 911 says to only frig RI with egg whites. To store the meringue powder RI in an air tight container.
I was taught that Royal should only be kept in a glass or metal bowl because plastics are made with oil and you don't ever want oils to touch your Royal icing. I do cover it with plastic wrap, but only if it's not touching it, and I keep it in a dark cupboard like someone else said. Seems to last a long time.
i too, remember hearing that you couldn't use plastic?
Wow - everyone has a different method, LOL. I guess there's no wrong way!
I have a clear, glass pyrex bowl that has a plastic lid that seal airtight .. I've always used this for my royal icing ..
Thanks LizAnn for sharing that they can be frozen .. I've never tried this, but I will do this now that I've seen it can and obviously does work!!
