Glycerine is a viscose, clear, colourless liquid with a slightly sweet taste. It is mainly used to soften icing. It can be added to homemade royal icing to soften the icing, making it easier to eat.

Glycerine is mainly used to prevent a very hard set with royal icing. It will keep baking moist for longer. Glycerine will also prevent sugar crystallization in sweet (candy) making.
