Can you buy shards of edible things - sugar, caramel, not sure what I mean really, for a frozen themed cake

I mean like shard or triangles of blue and white ice type icing or caramel or sugar strands. Anyone got some search terms I can look for?

I've seen people pour molten sugar then smash it after it sets. If nothing else, get gum paste. A type of icing. Quite solid!

What about white chocolate? You could melt it into a tray and chill it, then snap off shards maybe?

You get coloured chocolate too - not sure how it behaves though.

Get a pack of tesco glacier mints (or fox's) any blue coloured ones. Put them in a tray on a sheet of tinfoil and into the oven til they melt. Allow to cool and break, there's videos on YouTube too

You can make it by melting down sweets like glacier mints, add blue food colouring if you want. Then pour melted mix onto a shallow baking tray and leave to set and then break it :)

I'm doing a cake like this for DD1. I've bought these candy melts in blue and white. I'm planning to melt and them and cut out shards like this.
I've also seen it done with melted sweets or sugar but that looks harder and not as nice to eat. Or using sugarpaste, which would be easy but not as tasty.

Pretty easy and the kids all loved eating the shards! Got the corn syrup from Waitrose.
