I haven’t been able to find Sunny Side Up Bakery meringue powder at my Hobby Lobby, but they had a brand called Cake Craft that I bought because I was in a pinch. This batch of royal icing I made with the Cake Craft is entirely different. While making it, it went to a flood consistency with the amount of water it takes me to usually get to a piping consistency. Then while flooding, it is creating a film so fast I’m having a hard time doing a wet technique because it just wrinkles. The picture I attached is what it’s doing. My question- is this all due to differences in the brand of meringue powder? I didn’t change anything else about the recipe, so I have to think it is.

For sure! Different powders have different amounts of sugar and stabilizers.
Try Genie’s Dream meringue powder.
Do you think humidity or heat has anything to do with it? I’m in so-called and it has been super hot and dry this week. It’s messing with my kitchen. I’m considering converting a part of my garage because it’s always really cool in there and consistent humidity.
