TeePee Treats
  • Sugar cones
  • Confectioners’ sugar
  • Unsalted butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Cake-decorating icing
  • Decorative candies
  • Toothpicks
 In a mixing bowl with an electric beater set at low speed, mix 2 cups of sifted confectioners’ sugar, ¼ cup of softened, unsalted butter and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable. Sir in a bit of milk, if needed.

Use the icing to lightly frost eight ice cream sugar cones, then place them in the freezer for a few minutes until the icing hardens.

Now use tubes of cake-decorating icing to draw linear patterns and images and glue on decorative candies. For lodge poles, insert toothpicks into the tip of each cone.
