Bake Austin Newsletter A little history on Royal Icing Did you know that royal icing is called "royal" because it was used on Queen Victoria's wedding cake in 1840. The queen's chef, published a book in 1864 in which he describes how to ice a cake with a mix of sugar, egg whites and lemon juice. He wrote "use this icing to mask the entire surface of the cake with a coating about a quarter of an inch thick" (except he said this in french) :)
