constantly. Refrigerate 15-20 minutes or until mixture is firm enough to
knead. Knead until smooth. Divide mixture into 2 parts, making 1/4 & 3/4
portions. Knead a few drops of green food coloring into 1/4 of mixture.
Wrap in plastic wrap. Knead a few drops red food coloring into 3/4 of
mixture. Place red mixture between 2 sheets of parchment paper or on
surface sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar; roll out mixture into 16*6″
rectangle. With knife or pastry wheel, cut lengthwise into 3/4″ strips.
Place strips on cake to resemble ribbon on a package; fold additional
strips to form bow. Roll out green mixture as directed about to 1/8 inch
thickness. Using holly leaf cutter, cut out 8 leaves. Score veins with tip
of knife. Tuck leaves around bow for garnish. Sprinkle ribbon & leaves with
edible glitter.

TIPS: Edible glitter is available at kitchen specialty shops.
