I had no idea candy canes would sort of melt when you attempt to crush them up, but it added a really nice touch for the scarf. This is really the only part I helped with other than the occasional tip on how to get the icing smoother or agreeing that this or that candy would work great.

This was from last year, so I don’t actually remember whose idea was which or what exactly was used. I assumed it was a pretzel stick for the pipe, but nope, upon further inspection, it’s actually a cinnamon stick, hehe.
