The recipe looks great and the Pic Wow !!!


I mis-read "candies" and thought it said "candles". The scandanavian tradition of halos decorated with a circle of little candles crowning the heads of earthangels.

You could have candies circling the bases of the candles, like itty bitty red hots. Thanks, Peeta, this is a way cool presentation!


Totally cute recipe and I agree about using different candies but totally cute idea! I would be thrilled if someone made me one of these!


Wow, so adorable - love unique type foods and desserts. Saved this!
