Step 3: Start Stacking - Small Daisies

Using your cocktail stick, start stacking your daisies, in reverse order - always keep cocktail stick in the centre of each piece. Keep one small daisy until the end.

Start with the smallest daisy and place cocktail stick in centre

Step 4: Next, the Medium Daisies

Once you have added the small daisy, move onto the medium ones.

Keep stacking with the four medium daisies.

Step 6: Topping Off Time

• Place your work onto the surface that you will be drying it out on, with a little parchment paper.
• Gently remove the cocktail stick using a twisting motion.
• Add a dab of water and then add your final small daisy to the top.
• Using a little extra green fondant, make a small, flat-bottomed cone to top off the tree

Step 7: Add Your Small Star

Step 8: And Finally, a Little Christmas Magic

Or in this case, a generous sprinkling of edible glitter
