Can I add some corn syrup like in your other recipe to make it slightly softer? How much would I add?

Had to make my icing with pasteurized egg whites. I, like with the powder, thought store room temp…. so it sat out for about 8 hours on counter…….. is it okay? Or should it have been refrigerated sooner?! Should I toss it?!

Hi Tirishy,

If you decorate them with the raw egg white royal icing you need to eat them immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. It is good for up to one week if kept in the fridge.

If you decorate with meringue-powered royal icing they last much much longer.

I hope this helps.

Good, I enjoy watching baking videos. I like the mixer you were using. Wish I could have one like that.

In reply to Emily. I think we need to write a book on "Late Night Christmas Pregnancy Cravings" so we can enjoy them all year long! Have your people call my people! LOL

I have had food poisoning and it’s not fun! It was from cheesecake from a very well known cheesecake shop. Never again! LOL

Pasteurized eggs are my choice when using real eggs for the royal icing. I hope you and your hubby don’t ever come close to bad sushi again!!!!!! Hugs!

So glad I found this, as I was worried I might have gifted the family with Salmonella poisoning this Christmas from the gingerbread house I made. I can safely say now that my husband and I partook in some bad sushi, but I will be buying pasteurised egg whites from the freezer section from now on just to be safe!! Thanks!

In reply to Jordan. I put this on the wrong recipe page, but regardless I also used this icing recipe and it was flawless.
