My guess is that royal icing would be best. I have seen some great cakes with royal icing snowflakes that are piped on parchment or wax paper and then peeled off. You could probably use chocolate too. Maybe someone will respond that has made something similar...

I am thinking trouble with royal icing. Did you want to make the webs stand up on the sides or on top- hanging down on sides. I think they would break. Why not just pipe them on??

I would use ri with some piping gel mixed in it just a ts or so. Keeps it from cracking and makes piping easier. Sugarveil would be perfect but the pen is expensive.
