Has anyone decorated with Toba's glace on top of a fondant covered cookie? Do you think that would work?

I am running short on time for a cookie order and I am not sure I will have time to let a flooded cookie dry before wrapping. I would think that polka dots would dry faster than waiting for the whole covered cookie to dry.

Thanks,
Cindy

If you are in a hurry, I would use royal for dots and lines on top of the fondant. Her glace takes at least 24 hours before you can package.

Thank you, Rodneyck

I just took her 2nd cookie class. She uses Meringue Powder Royal Icing for details on top of fondant. It dries really fast.

1/4 cup of meringue powder
1/2 cup cold water
1 lb 10x confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice or extract

Add meringue powder to cold water in mixing bowl. Beat to a soft peak stage - about 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Add conf sugar 1 cup at a time. Beat between each cup. add lemon juice. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed or until the icing forms medium to stiff peaks. cover w/plastick wrap til ready to use. (makes about 1 1/4 lb.)

Kos - i work in NY, near Ice Culinary in nyc. They give classes for cake decorating, cookies and more. She teaches a few recreational courses there, i took both cookies classes so far. Wish i had the time and money for the cake classes (1-3). they are a wk long m-f. unfortunately during my work schedule. It's fun, relaxing and nice to learn new things.

Katkakes,

Is Toba's royal icing as hard as the usual royal? I have used Wilton's royal recipe on fondant before and the thing I did not like about it was that it was really hard and pieces would fall off when you bit into the cookie. That is why I was asking about the glace.

You can also experiment with Toba's glace by adding less corn syrup which is usually what makes a glace, a glace. The less syrup, the more it becomes like a royal and dries faster.

i can't remember the wilton's royal texture. First and only time i used it was about 1.5-2 yrs ago. This one we made in her class seemed stiff enough, but creamy at the same time.
