Dear Nancy, I am from the West Indies and most of our cakes are decorated with Royal Icing that does not dry hard all my family that used to make this happen are all deceased so the recipe went with them, unfortunately whenever I mix my royal icing it dries hard how can I make it that it does not dry hard as candy when I decorate a cake with it, Thanks
