I made the St. Andrews fence. I have this "tip" listed on my website at www.frankysattic.com under "Tips and Tricks".
Edible Re-Bar! This is the coolest thing. Take a full bag of frosting with a #5 round tip. Take a long stick of spaghetti and stick it through the tip, into the bag. Pull the spaghetti right back out (which is now coated with frosting) and lay on wax paper to dry. You can cut this (or break it) into desired lengths. The spaghetti acts as re-bar providing reinforcement. This is a great idea for fences. Color the frosting black/gray for the look of wrought-iron.
