Take a meringue and put a dollop of royal icing on the back. Starting at the base of the cone, stick the royal icing side of the meringue onto the tree. Continue this process around the base of the tree and then work your way up to the tip of the cone. You'll want to fit the meringues as close together as possible, but be careful not to break the meringues...they're delicate and will break easily!

After your tree is full with meringues, go back and add the sugar pearls into the open spaces between the cookies.

Next, you'll be adding the ribbon on top. Royal icing is pretty strong stuff, so after you've tied a box into your ribbon, just put a generous amount on the back of the knot on the bow and attach it to the top of the meringue tree.

For the completed look, take your mist color food spray and lightly spray a little color on the tree. I like the silver and gold colors the best, but they have a bunch of colors to choose from if you have a specific color palette you're working with!
