Does Royal Icing Melt While Piping From "hot Hands"
Decorating By Apr1c0t Updated 5 Apr 2012 , 8:51pm by Apr1c0t
Hi,
I'm about to take the Wilton Course 2 in a few weeks, and my question is about working with royal icing.
When I pipe with buttercream, I have to cool the piping bags or during class, I just dumped out the warm, runny BC and replaced it with a new batch of BC. My hands run hot, I live in a humid place, and I was wondering if I may have a similar problem while piping out Royal Icing....
Thanks!
No, it doesn't melt, but it definitely changes consistency in hot hands. It gets "foamy" and no longer looks crisp & clean when piped.
It's best to have multiple, small bags ready to go. You can put the foamy stuff back in the mixer with some fresh and re-mix. It'll get it back to workable consistency.

Happens to me every time, so I use smaller bags and have no problem.
