hey guys! I have never had issues like this with my royal icing before. I was sick for a week and came back to decorating, and my icing will NOT dry smooth. Ive iced 2 dozen cookies and each one looks like it’s covered in pimples!!
I let my icing sit after coloring, popped the air bubbles, helicoptered it in the bag, the whole nine yards to prevent air bubbles so I am SO confused and SO upset. I’m going to have to scrape these and figure something else out :/

It looks like clumps of meringue powder or icing sugar to me!
Did you use a whisk or paddle attachment in your stand mixer when you were making the icing?
It’s air bubbles. Slightly thicker icing can help, but it still needs to be flood consistency. I also make my icing the day before. Get a tall cup and have the piping bag tip side down in the cup. All the bubbles float to the top of the bag, where it’s tied off at. So when you pipe, you shouldn’t have air bubbles, or you may have a very small amount of air bubbles.
