You learn something new every day!

So 2 weeks ago I did cookies for 2 showers. I did my baking on Wed. night and my decorating on thursday. I did this set, in the morning and delivered them at lunch, and then decorated this set thrusday night because they were being picked up friday morning. Well... since they were both for boy showers, I thought I'd get some extra use out of the light blue and brown piping consistency icing I'd made.

NOT! Apparently royal icing can loose is stiffness when sitting for long periods of time. When I went to use them 7 hours after making them they kind of spilled out of the piping tip and were essentially useless. So last night when I got distracted from decorating cookies I stuck the icing in the freezer and we'll see how it goes tonight.

UPDATE: took the piping bags out of the freezer, let them sit about 20 mins and piped away quite sucessfully. I had quite a bit of icing left over so I threw them all back in the freezer to hopefully use on another day.
