80-90 Donut Holes Powdered Sugar or Sour Cream Fresh Rosemary Sprigs 1/4 Cup Pomegranate Arils 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar 90 Toothpicks 12 inch Styrofoam Cone Plastic Wrap
Wrap the styrofoam cone ins two layers of plastic wrap.
With the cone in an upright position, push in a toothpick in about half way in starting at the bottom of the cone.
Gently push a donut hole into the toothpick.
Be sure to make the donut hole lines up to the bottom of the cone.
Push another toothpick close to, but not right next to the donut hole. You want to allow space for the next donut hole.
Place another donut hole on the toothpick.
Work your way around the base going in a straight line meeting up with the first donut hole.
For the next rows, be sure to tuck the donut holes in between to help fill in the gaps.
Once you've covered the cone completely, trim short pieces of the rosemary springs.
Place the rosemary in spots where you may need to fill in the gaps.
Embellish with pomegranate arils throughout and dust with powdered sugar.
