Edible Ornaments

Susan and I made these cupcakes and edible ornaments this weekend so she can take them to work on Monday.

The ornaments were fun to make. The center is made from melting hard candies; different colors are different flavors. The ornament itself is a sugar cookie. We used a straw to cut out the circle for hanging the ornament and baked a pretzel into the base in order to insert the ornament into the cupcake. We use colored sugar to decorate the ornament around the candy center.
