wreath from pan and cool completely.
5.Prepare GLAZE. Spread top of cake with 1 cup glaze as pictured. Tint
remaining 1 cup glaze with green paste food coloring. If too thin for
piping, stir in a little more 10X sugar. Spoon tinted glaze into pastry bag
fitted with small round tip. Pipe on pine branches as pictured. Decorate
with candies ro cranberries and red bow, if you wish.
GLAZE: Gradually stir 3 to 4 teaspoons milk into 2 cups of 10X

consistency. Makes about 2 cups. NOTE: It looks from the picture that the
white glaze is spread over the top and let run down the sides. Holly leaves
are made on top with the green and then garnished with either the cinnamon
red candies or cranberries. Kathleen Robinson
