MaryJane, you mentioned a couple of times how "soft" this icing is. It's obviously stiff enough to pipe (and those cupcakes are gorgeous), but do they need to be kept refrigerated to prevent the icing sliding off the cupcake? Thanks. Oh, and BTW, why don't you make a video of piping the cupcakes. Thanks again. Hi Martibeth, Yes, the icing will pipe fine even though it is not as stiff as buttercream. I'd say keep the cupcakes in the fridge until about 15 minutes before serving. The icing never slid off the cupcake when I worked with it, but the nice swirls would start to soften and look a little wilted after an hour or so out at room temperature. I think the video is a great idea. I'll have to set up a plan and see where we can go with it. ~ MaryJane
