Reply to "Royal Icing/Details Crushing After Freezing"

So is the icing that’s crushing actually soft, or hard and brittle? It looks soft in the photo, but your description made me think it was dry and brittle. If soft and it’s humid out, them I’d add back the meringue powder you took out (it has a hardening effect). Why did you take it out if it had been working well before? If the icing is dry and brittle, then I would suggest not drying as long in the dehydrator. I don’t freeze (for this very reason), so I’m just suggesting things based on basic baking science.
