Ingredients
Skirt:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- Water, for icing consistency
- 2 to 3 drops blue food coloring
- Blue sanding sugar, garnish
Hair:
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 2 to 3 drops yellow food coloring
- 2 to 3 drops red food coloring
Body:
- 6-ounce white chocolate bar
- 6 sugar ice cream cones
Head:
- 6 tablespoons marzipan
- Food coloring pens
Halo and wings:
Directions
To make the icing for the skirt, in a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, meringue powder and add enough water to get the desired icing consistency. Mix in 2 to 3 drops of blue food coloring. Set aside.
To make the hair, divide the coconut into 2 separate bowls and color with yellow food coloring in 1, and red in the other. Set aside.
To make the body, melt white chocolate bars in a medium bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between heating. Dip cones in melted white chocolate. Holding onto the tip of the cone, dip larger end into the blue royal icing, then dust with sanding sugar. Place cones in refrigerator on foil lined baking sheet until white chocolate has set.
While cones are setting, make angels' heads by rolling 1 tablespoon of marzipan into a ball. Set aside.
Remove cones from refrigerator. Gently push heads onto the tips of the cones. Using the remaining melted white chocolate, attach the coconut hair, vanilla wafer halo and the pretzel wings. Carefully draw on faces using food coloring pens.

Chocolate was very hard to work with. Wings do not stay on.

Sandra did'nt mention what size cone to use so I used the small ones and there is no way you can put 2 pretzels on for the wings. After dipping in choc. and letting them cool I cut 1 ear off of each pretzel at an angle and glued them on w/royal icing on the sides (like where the arms would be held them there a minute then cooled in fridge to set the icing even harder. after that, I piped icing around the wings to give it a finishing touch and it turned out even cuter. As far as the marzapan heads I made a hole in the heads prior to sticking on cones otherwise you will have deformed heads. I rated it a 3 star due to sandra making it look sooooo easy and it really was'nt. I still love her though. Happy Holidays!!!!!

This seemed a little complicated, so i made some little changes. They may not be as professional looking, but they are really cute and everyone loved them. In place of the royal icing decorations i spinkled them with edible glitter while the chocolate was not yet dry. I used a donut hole for the head (Just used dots of melted chocolate in colors for the eyes and mouth.
