Steps

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

  2) I arrange the cookie wings on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for a few minutes, about 7/8, or depending on your appliance’s characteristics.

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

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

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

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

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

  Merry Christmas and happy crafting with these homemade and edible placeholders!
