- paper straws (you can buy them here)
Directions
- Mix strawberry powder and sugar and pour this mixture into a paper cone
- Seal the end of every paper straw using some fondant paste (or melted chocolate-you'll have to let it set- or just by folding the paper straw's end)
- Insert every straw into the paper cone to get the strawberries powder and sugar mix in easily.(the original recipe proposes a different way to fill the paper straws, but I found it too difficult, it almost take 10 minutes to fill each stick!)
- Seal the other end of the straw, and enjoy like a kid.
