In reply to Shelly. Royal icing transfers will keep a really long time as long as you store them in an airtight container and keep them away from the sun. I've personally tasted some that were six months old they were still perfect. I did make them with meringue powder instead of egg whites and they were great.

That’s a good question, Christina! You can make them months in advance!

Store them in an airtight container away from the sun (the sun will fade the colors) and they will be great for many, many months. Just be sure they are completely dry when you store them. Let them dry for several days and you will be a happy girl in the future! 🙂

Hi Lisa,

Royal icing transfers will last a very long time. Once they dry, (completely dry for several days) place them in an airtight container and store them away from the sun. The sun will cause the color of the icing to fade.

They will stay fresh for several months and some people say they will last for years. If they are completely dry when you store them you shouldn’t have any trouble using them for months and months!

Do you store the transfers in room temperature and for how many days do they stay good. How do you know when they are spoiled? I use pasteurized egg whites to make my royal icing. Also how do you prevent dark color transfers like black and blue and red from bleeding on a white background. When the white icing is wet it seems to pull the color off the transfer and run on the white. I heard corn syrup may work to form a barrier but haven’t tried it yet. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!!

In reply to Yuvika. Hi Yuvika, Royal icing transfers can be stored for a long, long time. You just need to keep them in an airtight container away from the sun. The sun can cause the colors to fade.
