My GUI contains a drop down menu. The root menu item contains only an icon. I want to insert an icon ("M6 36v-3h36v3Zm0-10.5v-3h36v3ZM6 15v-3h36v3Z") in the following control template taken from here.

Answer 1

Insert <Image Grid.Column="0" Source="{TemplateBinding Icon}"/> before ContentPresenter and set MenuItem.Icon property an object valid for Image.Source.
In the case of path data, you can use DrawingImage and create a Style using this ControlTemplate like the following.
<Style x:Key="HamburgerMenuItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource MenuItemControlTemplate1}"/>
<Setter Property="Icon">
<Setter.Value>
<DrawingImage>
<DrawingImage.Drawing>
<GeometryDrawing Geometry="M6 36v-3h36v3Zm0-10.5v-3h36v3ZM6 15v-3h36v3Z"
Brush="Red"/>
</DrawingImage.Drawing>
</DrawingImage>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
