Ice Cream Cones frosted green
To make an Ice Cream Cone tree, pipe frosting onto an inverted sugar cone, starting at the bottom edge. Make one row around the bottom edge, continuing up the cone to the top. Sprinkle green crystals onto the wet icing. Do not roll the tree in frosting or the frosting will flatten. Leave the top of the tree unfrosted. Put the tree in place and then frost the top of the tree.
