Steps

• 1) For these little objects, I prepare the cookies using cookie cutters or making homemade shapes or using a glass.

  2) I place the baked wings on the baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 374°F for about 7-8 minutes or according to the characteristics of your appliance.

  3) In the meantime, I prepare the icing by putting powdered sugar in a small container, a glass is fine too, and adding the lemon juice or water little by little, stirring vigorously to create the sweet icing sauce.

  4) Once cooled, I cover the angel placeholder wings completely with the icing and let them solidify for about 30 minutes.

  5) Meanwhile, I can make “the buttons” and the cone’s bottom by covering them with icing or creating a personal decoration, and gradually sprinkle with colored sugar decorations. I glue the wings with royal icing to the “body” of the Christmas angel placeholder.

  6) I make balls of sugar paste, trying to smooth them well, better than mine anyway, and in one part I make a small hole with a skewer to facilitate insertion into the tip of the ice cream cone to make the head.

  7) Anyway, I stop here because it’s easier to do this by looking at the picture than to write every single step in detail…

  Merry Christmas and have fun with these homemade and edible placeholders!
