Royal icing, made from icing sugar and egg white, dries very hard. That is perfect for fine decorations, less so when you need to cut a slice of Christmas or wedding cake under a thick layer. In the UK, the classic answer is to stir a little glycerine into the mix: the icing keeps its shape and whiteness but stays softer to cut.
Glycerine (E422) holds on to moisture. It is also used in some homemade sugarpaste or fondant recipes to make them more pliable. Use as directed in your recipe.
