I’ve used this handy Wilton Dessert Decorator for years and I love it!
These are so cute – I love how they look like a cup of hot cocoa! Enjoy.
Our local Sweet Tooth Fairy makes these and they are so so adorable. Just make sure that you don’t put them in any sort of airtight container overnight (unless you pull out the candy canes first.) Otherwise the canes will get so sticky and gross! I speak from experience 😉
Thanks for the tip!
oh, I love these! Thanks Lina
So Cute!
So cute, Lina! Thank you!
I love these. I might have to make cupcakes instead of a cheesecake.
They are adorable – and look yummy! I’m making them tomorrow – or wait it is tomorrow:) Anyway, they will be a great treat Christmas eve. Thanks Lina, love your talent!
I’m making them right now! Got a party tonight and these will be perfect.
