Surround your gingerbread house with sugar ice cream cones decorated with candy-coated chocolates in shades of green. Easy to make, you and the kids will have fun sticking the candy on with icing.
Vary the size of the trees. Reserve some full-size cones. Using a food safe decorator brush, dampen other cones with water, about 1 in. (2.54 cm) from the wide end. Use a paring knife to cut along the dampened line. Let the cone dry completely before decorating.
Decorate the trees. Using royal icing and a decorating bag fitted with tip 5, pipe large dots on the cone, then press the candies into the icing.
