What would be the best way to get a dribbling effect down the sides of a fondant cake?
All I can think to do is to pour runny royal icing on the top and let it drip down the sides, but I could see that ending very messily and I don't want to ruin somebody's cake!
I'm sure you clever people have better ideas or tips, so any would be appreciated

Thanks for your reply
The second to last link is more what I was looking for. Could the technique be used with royal icing rather than chocolate? If so, do you know if there's any way I can test for the right consistency?
I'd do piping gel or corn syrup personally. It will give you the wet translucent look of blood.
I considered that, but can you attach decorations afterwards (such as a plaque)? I imagine if you attached them before they would just get hidden in 'blood'.
I would do the blood and let it sit for a little while then attach the plague. If you use piping gel it will run, but set up.
