Super - good to know! I wonder what causes the faster drying though - the added egg content or the other starch additives in meringue powder? Would be interesting to see if the same results are achieved with just pure powdered whites added.
Why not give it a shot? I suspect it's the EXTRA egg white protein. I'll be curious in the morning to take a bite of each and see if the icing with added meringue powder breaks my teeth.

No time to give it a try right now - off to Jakarta in five days to teach classes, and my workload is insane! Glad you tested this aspect though!
