How to Make Frosted Holiday Angels

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup milk.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed, scraping down the sides frequently, until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Divide the frosting into several bowls and tint with pastel food coloring to your desired shades.
  4. Set aside a portion of white or yellow frosting for attaching heads, hair, and faces.
  5. Place one sugar cone upside down for each angel body.
  6. Frost the sugar cones with your pastel icings.
  7. Attach a pretzel twist to each cone with frosting to create wings.
  8. Decorate the angel bodies with decorator gels, additional frosting, and candies. Let stand for 5-10 minutes to set.
  9. For the angel heads, decorate a small wafer cookie with candies using frosting to attach eyes, nose, and mouth.
  10. Attach each head to the top of a frosted sugar cone using frosting as adhesive.
  11. For the hair, spread a thin layer of frosting on the top and back of the cookie head.
  12. Sprinkle generously with coconut flakes and let the frosting set. Place a small fruit-flavored ring-shaped candy on top of the cookie for a halo.
  13. Allow angels to set completely before handling (at least 30 minutes).
