Yes, you can add a small amount of water to butter icing to achieve a smoother consistency. However, be cautious, as too much water can make the icing too runny and affect its structure. It's better to add water gradually until you reach the desired texture. Alternatively, if you need to thin it out, consider using milk or cream for added flavor.

How do you make homemade chocolate icing?
icing sugar in its easiest form is just icing sugar and water (or milk). just start with 1/2 cup of icing sugar and add water until you get the consistency you want. once you get the consistency down, mix in some vanilla to give it some flavor. start with 1 tsp of vanilla...go from there. if you need more then 1/2 cup of icing, just start adding more icing sugar and water...keep mixing...don't forget to add more vanilla as well. this is just a simple icing. if you find it has too much of an icing flavor, try a tbsp of butter as well. it's all hit and miss with icing. for more complex, consult the internet or cookbooks. i have made mocha icing (yum), butter icing, cream cheese, etc.

Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?
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.
