Urgent!!!! Is There An Icing That Sets Faster Than Royal?
Baking By CookieMeister Updated 17 Jun 2010 , 6:37pm by CookieMeister
I have cookies that have been fondant covered, but still need some royal icing detail work on them.
I screwed up. I need to ship them today.
Will piped royal icing set fast enough for me to do it now (noonish) and pack and ship by 7:00?
Or is there another icing I can use in it's place that might set faster?
chocolate would be faster i think. dont know if the royal would be firm enough to hold up to shipping... but i dont ship cookies!
fingers crossed for you!

This is what I did:
I piped the icing using a #1 tip so it would be nice and thin. I was done by 12:30.
They are sitting at home right now - in the sun through a window, with 3 fans blowing on them.
Please be dry!!!!!!!!!!!! The truth will be told in 20 minutes.
Sounds like it should work, I was going to say use a heat lamp.
It did! I got home around 5:00, and they seemed perfectly set. I bagged them up and shipped them. She got them the next day, and said they were perfect.
I was in total panic mode because I had screwed up. She changed the delivery date on them, and I forgot to put it in my calendar. Luckily it all worked out. WHEW!
I have pictures in my iphone. Let me see if I can load them.
I haven't put this through my software yet, and it was just taken with my Iphone so it's a little dark, but here they are!
The customer asked for cookies for her daughter to pass out in school for their 8th grade graduation party. I guess they picked a theme for the party (never heard of that before) and it was "Funky 70s". I suggested it would be fun to do "tie-dye" style caps and diplomas.
She sent me an e-mail and said they arrived, they were perfect and they loved them.
