To quickly dry royal icing, you can use a fan or a dehydrator on a low setting to speed up the process. Placing the icing in a warm, dry area can also help it dry faster.

Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?

Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.

Why is Royal Icing called 'Royal'?

I found the following on an article by Pat Lock. The title 'royal' was given to royal icing after being used on Queen Victoria's wedding cake in 1840. Francatelli, the Queen's famous French chef, published a book in l864 in which he describes how to ice a wedding cake with a mixture of egg whites, sugar and lemon juice beaten together. He wrote 'use this icing to mask the entire surface of the cake with a coating about a quarter of an inch thick'. But, long before the above date this type of icing was in use. A cook, wrote in 1789, that she spread it over cakes with the aid of a board or a large feather! And then placed it in front of 'a great fire' to dry. So we can see royal icing has been popular for many years. The simple ingredients, egg white and icing sugar create a dazzling icing, making it the perfect choice for wedding cakes. Dried egg whites can be used instead of fresh. Not only does this save having a surplus of egg yolks, but also the icing is whiter than icing made with fresh whites.

How can cake icing dry quicker?

Websites recommend at least a week for thorough drying. However, while it is best to use gum paste or royal icing which dries very hard for things like flowers or figures, if you have already made the fondant into something and you want it to dry quickly, then you can take a desk fan and have it blow onto the fondant for several hours. This will help it to dry faster. I found this information on the ehow.com website.
