I'd say overnight, maybe 24 hrs., would be tops to how far in advance to place the royal icing toppers on. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer. I would highly recommend making the royal icing toppers at least 1 - 2 days in advance. You need them to thoroughly dry/harden. melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586183292872611320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88433652061367478.post-78295076966384988972013-11-28T01:28:40.875-08:002013-11-28T01:28:40.875-08:00I just discovered your blog and am really enjoying...I just discovered your blog and am really enjoying it!<br />I love the idea of using royal icing instead of fondant, but am wary about the hardened icing softening up or running once placed on the cake/cupcakes. Have you tested to see how far in advance one could place the icing decorations?

I'm still undecided whether I should bake really thin cookies/crackers and then pipe the designs onto those or try your method of using the icing by itself. Don't know if I trust my piping skills enough to create toppers that won't break! :)~*jane*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032193701135527637noreply@blogger.com
