Best Answer

Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.
