Icing, Royal, homemade

Royal icing is a sugar-based mixture, usually made with icing sugar and egg white, used to coat or decorate cakes and biscuits. The figures here describe a homemade recipe. Per 100g, it provides 1513 kJ of energy, 93g of carbohydrate, including 92g of sugars, and 1.1g of protein.

Sugar accounts for almost all of its carbohydrate content and is its main source of energy. This is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Although fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts, this does not mean the icing is low in energy. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
