Marshmallow Cup:

Poke the top center of the marshmallow with a piping nozzle. Brush on a circle with edible gold paint on the biscuit. Cut off the candy cane hook and stick it together with the marshmallow. The candy cane will serve as the handle of the cup.  On the biscuit center, pipe on chocolate frosting and stick on the marshmallow cup. Stick on a Christmas frosting decoration using piped chocolate frosting on the cup and as designs on top of the biscuit. Lastly, pipe in chocolate frosting on top of the poked hole of the marshmallow, sprinkle in frosted decoration, and spray on the edible gold spray.

Repeat the process and get creative!
