No. Icing is full of fat and sugar and is bad for any kind of bird.
Icing sugar is normal white granulated sugar that has been powdered to be very very fine.
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.
this works with any icing, all you have to do is add a bit of cream cheese.
i would not use granulated sugar while making buttercream icing. i would only use icing sugar. icing sugar usually has cornstarch mixed in with the powdered sugar. even if you added cornstarch to granulated sugar it would still give you a completely different texture than icing sugar...it would feel very gritty.
Depends on the size of the cup
Yes it will the same as any other sugar, like white refined or icing sugar
Yes, Woolworths Homebrand icing sugar is gluten-free. Icing sugar is typically made from finely ground sugar and does not contain gluten by nature. However, it's always best to check the packaging for any specific allergen information or cross-contamination warnings.
Icing sugar is finely ground sugar, which when added to whisked egg whites makes Royal Icing. Royal Icing sugar is finely ground suger pre-mixed with dried, pasteurised egg white. This is good if you want to avoid the "risk" associated with raw eggs. However, the ratio of egg white to sugar is fixed and the only adjustment which can be made is to add water (or lemon juice/glycerine) to vary the texture.
Meringue is egg whites and sugar. There is no fat in it. In fact if you add any fat, it will make it very difficult if not impossible to get your egg whites to become stiff.
Castor sugar is a superfine form of regular granulated white sugar (also known as "berry sugar"). Substituting regular sugar in its place can be done for some recipes without any consequence. In other recipes, there can be a difference in the texture of the final product (i.e it may be more gritty instead of smooth).
You would not add any color to black to make grey icing, and once enough black coloring is added to reach a truly black icing, the only way to lighten it to grey would be to mix a tiny bit of the black icing into a great deal of white icing. The proper way to make grey icing is to simply add a very few drops of black to white icing to obtain the desired shade of grey.
