Candy Holiday Trees for Gingerbread Houses are a great addition to the landscaping! Made with a few ingredients, they are worth a little bit of time spent spent making them because they add so much to the gingerbread houses.
*Make them ahead because the royal icing needs to dry overnight! They can even be made a couple of weeks ahead of time.

3. Stir to combine.
4. Continue stirring until all of the white streaks are gone.
5. Spread a generous amount of the green royal icing onto a sugar cone; creating swirls with the icing.
