I need to ice a really big styrofoam cake , 8 feet long by 4 feet wide, in ROYALl ICING! Not sure if it's gonna be possible to ice such a big cake in royal ,because it dries so fast. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. It's for this weekend. Please let me know!! Thanks in advance!!
is it like a huge rectangle? The only way I can think to do it is to make your royal on the thinner side (not super thin but pourable) and make a ton of it and pour it over the whole thing. YOu'll need to raise the styro up onto something to allow the excess to drip off. If I'm picture the shape of this thing right, that's how I'd do it. Gonna be a LOT of royal though!
I ice all of my styro's in BC. I use my regular recipe but w/o the dream whip and w/o the vanilla. Once the styro is iced, it turns hard as concrete. I pick them up by the sides, transport them to shows and even tell kids, "Sure! You can touch them!" with no problems.
You might try icing a styro in a modified BC to see how it reacts. If it hardens enough for your liking, it might be easier for the two of you.

Makes a whole lot of sense to me! I would definitely use some really cheap shortening to make the icing, too. As long as you can make it smooth and crusting, no need to worry about flavor. Maybe just use shortening, sugar and water.
