Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 inch tall) foam cone
  • Aluminum foil
  • Canned buttercream frosting
  • 100 toothpicks
  • 80 glazed or powdered sugar donut holes
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh cranberries
  • Rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Wrap a styrofoam cone with aluminum foil. Place covered cone pointed end up on a serving plate or cake stand. Coat with a thin layer of frosting to hide the foil.
  2. Starting from the bottom of the foam cone, insert a toothpick ½ inch from the bottom, leaving 1 inch of the toothpick sticking out. Gently press one donut hole into end of toothpick. Continue inserting toothpicks horizontally and placing donut holes ¾ inch apart to create a ring around the base of the cone. Repeat process with remaining donut holes, working your way up the cone until cone is completely covered.
  3. Tuck cranberries and rosemary sprigs evenly into the tree for a decorated effect.  
  4. Using a small wire mesh strainer, sprinkled powdered sugar on top of and around entire tree.
