To give the royal icing pine cones a frosty look, I sprinkled them with granulated sugar while the icing was still wet. I love how they turned out!

I made the pine cones as royal icing transfers, which means that I piped them on a piece of wax paper, let them dry, and then transferred them to the cookies when I was ready to decorate.
