Reply to "How Long to Store Fresh Icing"

LaegwenSuper Gobbler

Thanks for all your replies! I start to get the feeling that there is no absolute truth about icing *lol*

The comments here pretty much reflect what I have read elsewhere, the storage time seems to depend on intuition

Though I also find that for fine detailed work, for piping letters, etc., fresh icing works best. For flooding I can see no difference, only exception is when I use edible markers afterwards - the become kind of translucent when applied to older icing.

For the best before issue I'll take your word Liesbet, that even when fresh egg whites are used it keeps for almost ever. Which should be even more true when made with powdered or meringue powder.
