Reply to "Royal Icing Drying Too Fast"

I'm not sure how meringue powder ages, as I don't use it. I prefer to use pure egg whites, as there are fewer variables due to the lack of additives. Based on how you've answered the questions, it's hard to say what might have happened, as it sounds like you didn't do anything differently. My guess is your icing was thicker than you think and/or the drying conditions were drier than you are used to . . .
