How to make

Step-1

Use your hands to roll the green icing into different sized cones, varying from 3 cm to 8 cm, and insert a pretzel stick into each leaving 5 cm protruding out of the bottom of each tree. Leave the trees to harden overnight.

Step-2

Brush each tree with a little cooled, boiled water and dip into your choice of glitter or sprinkles. Leave all the trees to dry for 30 minutes.

Step-3

Melt a bowl of white Candy Melts and using a palette knife spread it thinly onto a piece of greaseproof paper in long sections.

Step-4

Place another piece of greaseproof paper on top and roll into a loose cylinder before the Candy Melts harden. Put the cylinder into the fridge for ten minutes until the Candy Melts have set hard.

Step-5

Remove the cylinder from the fridge and unroll the greaseproof paper – the Candy Melts will crack and break into shards as you unroll.

Step-6

Cover your cake with vanilla frosting and insert your trees into the top of the cake, placing the larger ones at the back and the smaller ones towards the front of the cake.

Step-7

Attach the Candy Melt shards to the frosting around the sides of your cake.

Step-8

Ta dah! The finished cake . . .
