I saw the tree on the holiday special and decided it would be fun to make. I am very disappointed that there was NO picture posted with any of the recipes from the show. It may be difficult to remember exactly what I'm making in future years. Please add a photo of the dish

Gosh, I can't believe the people who hated this. My niece and newphew had a blast making this. I do agree that the macaroons didn't stick well but we fixed that problem by inserting tooth picks into the macaroons and styrofoam. We kicked it up a bit and piped green frosting into the small empty spaces (effect of a tree trunk and also added little tiny colored sprinkles to the tree to give the effect of colored lights. The kids thought it turned out so well. The best part is it was easy, fun, quick and the kids made the centerpiece for the table which all the adults raved about. Thanks Sandra Lee. Keep this stuff coming!
