Royal Icing and Fondant Pine Cones, Holly Leaves, and Berries

At long last, the companion video to my 3-D candelabra cookie, where I show how to make very lifelike royal icing pine cones and curved royal icing holly leaves, among other things! I am so sorry I didn’t get this video to you before Christmas, but the good news is: these embellishments are great on any winter-themed cookie! Enjoy and TIA for sharing!

Special thanks to @Manu biscotti decorati and @Aproned Artist for their curved royal icing leaf tutorials, which spurred me on to do this one!
