Instructions
| 1. Mix water, 1 teaspoon at a time, with 1
1/2 cups
powdered sugar; stir until smooth. The icing will serve as the
glue and must be very stiff to hold the candies on the cone
without sagging. If icing becomes too thin, add additional powder
sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. |
| 2. Plan your candy design, spreading out candies on
tabletop. |
| 3. Cover the cone with a thin layer of icing. Spread a
small amount of icing on the back of each candy and press onto
cone. Begin at the bottom of the cone and work towards the top.
Let dry. |
| 4. Glue cone to top of pot. Glue ribbon around rim of
pot, tying bow at center front (optional). |
