Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 80-90 pieces donut holes
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
  • fresh rosemary sprigs trimmed
  • sour cream optional, can swap with powdered sugar
  • 90 pieces toothpicks
  • 12 inch Styrofoam cone
  • plastic wrap for wrapping the cone

Equipment

  • Styrofoam cone
  • Plastic wrap
  • toothpicks

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Wrap the styrofoam cone in two layers of plastic wrap.
  2. With the cone in an upright position, push a toothpick in about halfway starting at the bottom of the cone.
  3. Gently push a donut hole onto the toothpick, ensuring it lines up with the bottom of the cone.
  4. Push another toothpick close to, but not right next to, the donut hole to allow space for the next donut hole.
  5. Place another donut hole on this new toothpick.
  6. Work your way around the base in a straight line, meeting up with the first donut hole.
  7. For the next rows, tuck the donut holes in between to help fill in the gaps.
  8. Once the cone is completely covered, trim short pieces of the rosemary sprigs.
  9. Place the rosemary in spots where you may need to fill in the gaps.
  10. Embellish with pomegranate arils throughout and dust with powdered sugar.
