We propped these cute angels in the branches of our Christmas tree--and brought a bunch to a nursing home for table-side decorations.

MATERIALS

Sugar ice-cream cone
Three-ring pretzel
Royal icing (blend 1 egg white with 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar)
Colored sugar
Tootsie Pop, Life Saver and red candy heart

Using scissors, cut off 1/2 inch from the cone's point. Ice the cone and pretzel, then roll them in colored sugar. For the head, insert the lollipop's stick into the cone. Using the icing, affix the Life Saver to the head and the pretzel to the back of the cone. Add icing features and a candy heart.

TESTER'S TIP: Simplify the angel by using a plain (non-iced) ice-cream cone and pretzel.
