# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ 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 (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, wrapped in parchment (about 12 to 14 inches tall)
09 - Toothpicks
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - In a bowl, combine powdered sugar with milk gradually until you achieve a thick yet pourable glaze. Divide the glaze into small bowls and tint each portion with the desired food coloring.
02 - Dip or drizzle each mini donut with colored icing, then immediately embellish with sprinkles, edible glitter, and candies to resemble Christmas ornaments. Let them set for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up.
03 - Cover the foam or cardboard cone completely with a layer of food-safe wrap or parchment paper before assembly.
04 - Starting from the base, securely attach each decorated donut to the cone using toothpicks, overlapping slightly to fully cover the surface as you work upward.
05 - Insert mini pretzel sticks or chocolate sticks into the top of each donut to simulate ornament hooks or caps.
06 - Optionally, dust the assembled tower with extra edible glitter for a festive sparkle. Present as a striking edible centerpiece.
