- 15 -20 pine cones
- glitter (I used red (green, silver and white))
Langkah-langkah
To make the frosting, combine sugar and meringue powder in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mixing on low-speed, add a scant 1/2 cup water. Mix until icing holds a ribbon-like trail on the surface of the mixture for 5 seconds when you raise the paddle. Add the frosting to a gallon size Ziploc bag (or a piping bag).
Tie the ribbon around the top of the pine cone to create a loop.
Snip about 1/8 an inch off one corner of the frosting bag. Place small amounts of frostings all round the pine cones scales. Then, holding the cone over a bowl, spoon fine glitter over the scales. Make sure to sprinkle the glitter over the frosting within a minute or two of frosting, or the frosting with begin to harden.
Allow the cones to dry one to two hours before hanging on the tree or around the house.
