# Components:
→ Donuts
01 - 36 mini plain or glazed donuts (store-bought or homemade)
→ Decorations
02 - 2 cups powdered sugar
03 - 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
04 - Food coloring (red, green, blue, gold, silver, as desired)
05 - Sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored sugar
06 - Assorted candies (e.g., mini M&Ms, silver dragees)
07 - Mini pretzel sticks or chocolate sticks (for ornament hooks)
→ Assembly
08 - 1 large food-safe foam or cardboard cone, approximately 12 to 14 inches tall, or wrapped in parchment paper
09 - Toothpicks
# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, gradually combine powdered sugar and milk until a thick yet pourable glaze forms. Divide the glaze into smaller bowls and tint each with the desired food coloring.
02 - Dip or drizzle each mini donut in the colored icing. While icing is wet, adorn with sprinkles, edible glitter, and assorted candies to emulate Christmas ornament designs. Allow them to set for 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Wrap the foam or cardboard cone with food-safe wrap or parchment paper to prepare for assembly.
04 - Starting at the base of the cone, affix decorated donuts using toothpicks, overlapping slightly to fully cover the cone as you work upward.
05 - Insert mini pretzel or chocolate sticks into the top of each donut to simulate ornament hooks or caps.
06 - Optionally, dust the completed tower with additional edible glitter for extra sparkle before serving.
