Laravel use route into define custom macro

Question

i'm define custom macro such as link_image and into that i want to use {{ URL::route('profile') }} . after inserting this below line i get error:

{{ HTML::image_link("{{ URL::route('profile') }}", 'public/images/close.png', '', 'Image 01') }}

Error :

 syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' 

My macro :

HTML::macro('image_link', function($url = '', $img='img/', $title ='' ,$alt='', $param = false, $active=true, $ssl=false)
{
    $url = $ssl==true ? URL::to_secure($url) : URL::to($url);  
    $img = HTML::image($img,$alt);
    $link = $active==true ? HTML::link($url, '#', $param) : $img;
    $link = str_replace('#', $img.$title ,$link);
    return $link;
});

You need to remove the "{{ }}" around URL::route:

{{ HTML::image_link(URL::route('profile'), 'public/images/close.png', '', 'Image 01') }}
