These are beautiful. I'm about to try my hand with royal icing. I have the icing made and colored, but I am not sure where/how to store it over the next day or so while I'm decorating. If I thin it - say, to flood consistency - can I leave it in the piping bag? Will it thicken again? Should I squeeze it out of the piping bag when I'm done for the night, and if so, should it go in a tupperware? At room temp or in the fridge? Thanks! Hi Jami, I have saved royal icing overnight, both in the bag and in bowls/tupperware at room temperature. It does tend to thin out overnight, so if you need it thicker, it's best to take it out of the bags and re-whip the next day. If you do leave in the bag, be sure to test it out on parchment first, so that you don't flood a bunch of cookies and have the icing run off. I usually leave the detail icing, like black for eyes, in the bag as you are using just a very small amount. Hope this helps! ~ MaryJane
