Spangled Pretzel Rod Flag
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Yields: 11 Pretzel Rod Flags
Ingredients:
11 Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods
Cake Mate Easy Squeeze Frosting (one each white, blue and red)
Cake Mate Sugar Crystals (in white, blue and red)
Instructions:
1. Squeeze ¾ tube of the red frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and microwave on high in 7 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth. (Add more water if necessary)
2. Working with 1 rod at a time, completely coat 3 rods in the red melted frosting. Immediately sprinkle the red sugar all over the coated rods. Repeat for other 2 rods. Place rod on wax paper to cool. Repeat with white frosting using 2 rods and white sugar.
3. Coat one half of 3 more rods with the red melted frosting; repeat the process for the sugar; place on wax paper to cool. Repeat with white frosting and white sugar for 2 more rods.
4. When completely cool, melt ½ tube of blue frosting following step #1. Coat the unfrosted sides of each of the 5 half-coated rods with the melted blue frosting, sprinkling with blue sugar crystals.
5. Place the rods in a flag pattern on a serving platter; using the white frosting with a star tip, pipe little stars on the blue portion of the rods, or use your favorite sugar decors.
