How To Speed Up The Cookie Decorating Process? (Cut-Out Cookies And Royal Icing)
Decorating By beachandsweets Updated 22 Dec 2014 , 3:32pm by beachandsweets
It takes me forever to make the royal icing, divide it evenly, dye it, set up the piping bags, fill the bags, and then by that time I don't even want to decorate my cookies! How can I speed up this process? I've heard of freezing royal icing, in which case I could do this in advance. Thanks!
You can leave royal icing at room temperature? And that would be great if I had an airbrush 
Thanks everyone, I will definitely do that next time!
Like some of the others here are doing, I freeze batches of white royal icing too. I've never encountered any problems with this. Though I've only done once leaving it on the counter for a few days.
You should also try making icing bullets (or frosting bullets). Maybe you'll like them. There are some people who freeze them already colored, but I haven't done that yet. I always wonder if the color separates.

Great idea! Does this work with royal using though because it's more liquidy than buttercream
It sure does! Karenscookies.net is working with royal icing int he first link. She uses just one container to mix one color after another (no washing) and then shows you how to make the icing bullets. If you google "icing bullets" you'd probably find a lot of other forums where they discuss them.
