What is the difference ?

Options
I have been given a box of royal icing sugar, is it any different to my normal icing sugar that I use for buttercream/ icing ?

  • I think it has dried egg white in, as royal icing has egg white to stiffen it.

    Yes, it dries stiff like proper royal icing.... And has egg in as I was wary eating it when pregnant!!

    It is different. I don't know how it would react with butter, but you can use it for glace icing, just add the tiniest bit of liquid at a time.
