This is the most important step to
make ice.
Brush your white over your selection, you want some
background showing.
How you brush your white on determines how much your ice will
look like ice.
There is no right or wrong way to do it, every piece of ice
will look different.

I arranged and deformed the layers to shape the cave.
I
darkened the ice pieces inside the cave by going to
Colors>Adjust> Brightness and Contrast.
That's it.
