Reply to "Edible Markers Bleeding into Icing"

I’ve never had this happen, but I don’t use markers all that frequently, and I always make sure the underlying icing is dry all the way through. If your icing is soft or not completely dry, it’s conceivable that the marker dye has dissolved the top layer of icing and thus bled into it, or even that the pressure when applying the marker created micro breaks in the icing that the marker dye is now penetrating. Do you add corn syrup or anything to your icing? I ask because it has a softening effect which might be contributing to this issue.
