Ingredients
  

  • 80-90 pieces Donut Holes
  • 1/4 Cup Pomegranate Arils
  • 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 90 pieces Toothpicks
  • 1 piece 12 inch Styrofoam Cone
  • Fresh Rosemary Sprigs
  • Plastic Wrap

Equipment

  • Styrofoam Cone
  • plastic wrap
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Wrap the 12-inch styrofoam cone with two layers of plastic wrap to protect it from the donut holes and ease cleanup.
  2. Position the wrapped cone upright and push a toothpick halfway into the cone starting at the bottom.
  3. Gently place a donut hole onto each toothpick, ensuring the donut holes line up evenly around the base of the cone.
  4. Insert the next toothpick near but not touching the previous donut hole to leave space for the next.
  5. Place donut holes on these toothpicks, continuing around in a complete circle to cover the bottom row.
  6. For the new rows, tuck the donut holes in between the ones below to fill gaps and maintain a tree shape, continuing upwards until the entire cone is covered.
  7. Trim small pieces of fresh rosemary and place them strategically into the cone where gaps exist.
  8. Scatter pomegranate arils throughout the tree for accents and lightly dust the assembled donut tree with powdered sugar.
