Instructions: Fruit-flavored ring-shaped candies (for halo)

Mini candy chocolate pieces, decorator candies or sprinkles, gels, frostings, gum drops, etc.

In a small mixer bowl, combine sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. Beat at low speed, scraping bow often, until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Tint frosting as desired in pastel colors. Reserve some white or yellow frosting for attaching heads, hair and face.

Place sugar cones upside down and frost. Attach pretzel twist (wings) to cone with frosting.

Decorate angel body as desired with gels, frosting and candies. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes to set frosting.

For angel head, decorate wafer cookie, using frosting to attach eyes, nose and mouth. Attach head to cone with frosting.

For hair, attach coconut with frosting. Let stand until frosting is set, about 5 to 10 minutes. Attach fruit-flavored ring for halo.

Makes 8 angels.

Note: To toast coconut, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread coconut in a shallow pan. Bake, stirring often, for 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
