Try a new icing technique for Christmas cake

Ever since I have been making my own Christmas cake I have been playing it rather safe and using the roll out icing...

This year, feeling a bit nostalgic, I decided I wanted to try the royal icing effect that I remember my Granny making when I was little.
It looked pretty good when I was finished but the icing has since slid down slightly and the peaks are less high so not my best. I think part of that is my perfectionism streak showing it's ugly face though as Cameron says it's beautiful! I just need to locate the red ribbon I bought to go round the edge now.
