How to make Donut Hole Christmas Tree
Wrap a styrofoam cone with aluminum foil. Place the covered cone pointed end up on a serving plate or cake stand.
Coat with a thin layer of frosting to hide the foil.
Starting from the bottom of the foam cone, insert a toothpick ½ inch from the bottom, leaving 1 inch of the toothpick sticking out.
Gently press one donut hole into the end of the toothpick.
Continue inserting toothpicks horizontally and placing donut holes ¾ inch apart to create a ring around the base of the cone.
Repeat the process with remaining donut holes, working your way up the cone until the cone is completely covered.
Tuck cranberries and rosemary sprigs evenly into the tree for a decorated effect.
Using a small wire mesh strainer, sprinkle powdered sugar on top of and around the entire tree.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the donut holes are evenly spaced for a more uniform appearance.
Use fresh rosemary sprigs for a more fragrant decoration.
