| Does anyone know if these keep once you've removed them from the original packaging? I've just iced my Christmas cake but I have loads of both the almond and white icing left over and would quite like to tuck it away at least for a while. Seems like such a waste if I can't. |

As long as you wrap them well so they don't get any air to them they should keep until the expiry date on the packaging. I'd be inclined to put them back in the packaging, wrap in glad wrap and put in a snap lock bag and store in a cool, dry place, but not in the fridge. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well, since you can ice a Christmas cake in them and keep it at room temperature for aaaaages, I imagine they'd have a pretty long life if you could just keep them usable. I imagine that will be the hard bit, I've had about zero success storing roll-out icing once it's been opened, no matter how I wrap it it always goes hard. -------------
