Sugar-Cone Cornucopia

Your kids can assemble these treats (which can double as edible name cards) and spend the busy hours before your guests arrive making their own contribution to the holiday feast.

For each place setting, tie a ribbon around the opening of a sugar cone. With a tube of store-bought decorator's icing and a steady hand, write the name of a guest along the side of the cone.

Place the cone on a doily-covered saucer and have your kids fill it with candies such as raspberry jellies, candy corn or citrus slices. Let the goodies spill out of the opening and around the cone.

When the meal is served, your guests can set the cornucopia aside to eat after the turkey and fixings.
