Further Base Playing

Per my son's recommendation, I experimented with using a sugar sheet to cover a rice krispy treat base.  My idea was to wrap the base like a gift.  It wasn't easy--- Sugar sheet tears more easily than paper, and the slightest bit of moisture on the outside makes the color run.

It turned out OK nonetheless, but to accommodate the dimensions of the sheet, I made the base only an inch thick, which I learned is not thick enough to securely hold the pops upright.

I considered also  making a fondant ribbon, but upon discovering the price of rolled fondant, decided to experiment with making it myself at some later point in time.  Here's the ribbon-less gift base...

[NOTE TO SELF FOR NEXT TIME: Get one of those smoothing things so that the surface doesn't look so wavy!]

I made "cake" balls from the edges of the rice krispy treats that I had trimmed off...

And here they are again with snowflake sticker decorations...

All in all, I liked the effect. I especially liked the green and white stripes. They made the display feel "clean" and "mod," somehow.  What do you think?
