Storing Royal Icing Flowers
Decorating By SherisEdibleDesigns Updated 18 Oct 2005 , 6:01pm by SherisEdibleDesigns
I have made about 100 Royal Icing daisies that i will be using on my MIL's bday cake on Nov 4th. I know they can be stored and are made to be preserved. How do I best store them and how long is too long? My Wilton instructor insists that she has RI flowers she made 2 years ago but geez that seems wrong. LOL Help please!!
same here....but some of mine are in shoe boxes lined w/waxed paper
As long as they are kept dry you can keep them years. Sugar is a natural preservative.
I store mine on wax paper inside shirt boxes. I just put a layer of wax paper between them. I line the bottom & top with a little tissue paper to give the flowers a bit of cushion.
I have many royal icing flowers. I have them in plastic shoe boxes between layers of paper toweling. This helps to keep the more fragile flowers from breaking. I store the drop flowers and less fragile flowers in ziploc bags.
I store all my flowers in cookie boxes that I get from my cake supply store. They hold a single layer and are great for drying and storing. If you put the flowers in a plastic box, be sure they are really dryed good otherwise they will not harden.
I learned that the hard way..
Thank you all very much for the info. This helps more than you can imagine!
