 Ingredients List

  • Assembling the Sleigh

 Directions

Place the base of the sleigh on a waxed paper covered work surface.
Position the sides, back, and kick board, holding them in place with
inverted glass measuring cups and inverted custard cups or canned goods.
NOTE that the sides, back and kick board angle out from the base.) When
pieces are correctly positioned use Royal frosting in a decorating bag
fitted with a #16 or #17 star tip to cement the pieces in place. When
frosting is partially dry, add additional rows of frosting inside the
slight to reinforce the seams. Cement the seat in place with frosting. Let
sleigh dry at least 2 hours.

While the sleigh is drying, assemble the runners. With a sawing motion,
cut the curved end of each 8-3/4 inch long cane at center of curve. (Candy
canes and sticks cut more easily while still wrapped.) Place a large red
gumdrop on the cut end of each. Set canes aside.

Cut four of the 3-1/2 inch long candy sticks in half on angles. Position
four of the pieces in a shallow W-shape against each remaining 3-1/2 inch
stick with cut ends against the stick. Cement with dollops of frosting.
Cement two green square hard candies where the short pieces join each 3-1/2
inch stick.

*The little square candies are both inside and out at the top of the
inverted v of the runner supports.
