Please I want to the name of ingredient

One more important question! Won't the Royal icing wilt or melt, so to say, when applied to a buttercream cake, due to the fat content in the buttercream ?

[@OakleafCakesBakeShop]

We only use royal icing to decorate cakes when the outside is covered in fondant. If the cake has no fondant covering, and is instead a buttercream cake, we will use more buttercream for piped decorations like borders, swags, and messages

Can you use eggwhites rather than meringue powder, and if so, how many?

[@OakleafCakesBakeShop]

Yes you can use egg whites. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of water, or 6 ounces, so you can replace that volume of water with egg whites. Usually 1 large egg white is around 1 ounce, so 6 egg whites should work in this recipe. You can always adjust the consistency with water or powdered sugar to loosen or stiffen the royal icing

Hi, I want to know when royal icing gets harden then how to cut the cake and it's decoration or icing on a cake. Thank you.

[@OakleafCakesBakeShop]

So royal icing is never meant to cover the whole cake. It is used as a cake glue to adhere bigger decorations or for intricate piping scrollwork detail as since it dries hard it won't smudge. You would cut the cake as normal with a knife. Since the royal icing dries hard it may crumble a bit as you're cutting but that's ok.
