    You can, but it will likely separate after a few hours if you don’t keep the bag absolutely airtight. You may be able to massage the icing to remix it and get it back to a useable consistency.

    Some royal icing transfers can be placed in a glass jar after they’ve been allowed to dry completely. For more delicate pieces, leave them on the sheet of wax paper where you piped them and slide it into a zipper top bag. Store the bags somewhere where they are unlikely to get crushed or disturbed, like inside a plastic container in your pantry.

    Allow the icing to dry and harden completely, then place the cookies in an airtight container with a sheet of wax paper between each layer. You can also store the cookies in one layer in an airtight zipper top bag. They’ll stay good at room temperature for up to a week.

    About day if you keep them uncovered, 2 days if you keep them covered. If you store them in the fridge, they'll last longer.
