Ingredients
Scale
Supplies:
- Foam cone(s)
- Saran Wrap (recommended) or aluminum foil
- Toothpicks (each cone requires about 75-100)
Ingredients:
- 75–100 donut holes per cone
- Optional: Pomegranates, raspberries, or cranberries for berry accents
- Optional: Rosemary sprigs for tree accents
- Optional: Powdered sugar for snow effect
Instructions
- Wrap the styrofoam cone in Saran Wrap and trim off any extra on the bottom with scissors.
- Stick one toothpick in each donut hole. Start at the base of the foam tree and insert the donut holes with toothpicks right next to each other.
- Repeat and work your way up and around the cone until it is entirely covered.
- Add pomegranates, raspberries, or cranberries as berry garnishes. You can also add rosemary sprigs to look like evergreen branches.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a snow effect
Notes
Note: I wrapped the styrofoam cones in aluminum foil, but I would recommend clear Saran Wrap instead. This would have been less noticeable than the silver foil once some donuts were eaten.
