I’ve been loving the decorating-with-candy trend that has been so popular this year. I think my favorite candy Christmas decor item so far has been this candy cane topiary tree, designed by Courtney from Pizzazzerie. Her oh-so-sweet creation uses candy canes held in place with special icing “glue”; her blog post includes a link to the recipe, and you probably have everything you need to make it in your pantry already! The finished tree would make a whimsical addition to a mantle display or as a focal point on a holiday buffet table. [how to make a candy cane topiary tree]
Project estimate:
- Styrofoam cone, $1
- Candle stick, $1
- Floral tubes, $1 (look for these at craft stores, or ask your local florist)
- Glue, on hand
- Icing, on hand
- Candy canes (2 sizes), $2 and up
- Large lollipop, $1
- Ribbon, on hand or $1 and up
Total: $6 and up

That’s so cute! A shorter one with mini canes would be perfect next to a gingerbread house.

Very cute. I love making treat cones – the possibilities are endless (and tasty!)
