Last night I decided to half my icing recipe for the first time ever. When I woke up this morning all my colors had separated! They were stored air tight in bottles like always. What went wrong? I clean my mixing bowl with vinegar before I start to make sure there is no left over fat sticking to the surface.

This happens to me sometimes.  Just mix your icing with a spatula and everything should come together again.  Occasionally I need to add a little powdered sugar if the icing has been sitting a long time.  It should be good as new after a little mixing!

Thanks for the reply. Yep. That's what I did. I just hate working backwards. I was hoping there was a way to prevent it from happening so quickly!. Louisiana humidity may be one of the culprits.
