• Fondant/ roll out icing (or sugarpaste) is easy to roll out and covers the cake in one go. It does not set hard so is easy to cut. It does not really pipe easily. • Royal icing is made from egg-white (albumen) and icing sugar with the addition of a little glycerine to stop it setting rock hard. It does set harder and takes several coats to build up a good finish. You can pipe easily with royal icing.
