Marshmallow Igloo

The elf built himself a winter home: a dome igloo of mini marshmallows stuck together with frosting, with a little doorway he's peeking out of.

Instructions

Turn a paper cup upside down on a paper plate. It's the support the igloo is built around.
Spread frosting around the cup's base and press a ring of mini marshmallows into it, leaving a gap for the door.
Keep adding rings, each glued with dabs of frosting, until the cup is covered to the top.
Add a short arched tunnel of marshmallows at the door.
Dust powdered sugar around the plate as snow.
Sit the elf in the doorway or on top.

Tip: Mini marshmallows are a choking risk for kids under 4. Leave the cup inside; it keeps the dome from slumping.
