Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cinnamon sticks into thin slices. This will help them curl up more easily when you bake them.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cinnamon sticks. They should be slightly curled and golden brown, but not burnt.
  • Let the cinnamon sticks cool completely before you decorate them. This will help them keep their shape.
  • You can use any type of food coloring to decorate the cinnamon sticks. Gel food coloring will give you the most vibrant colors.
  • If you want to add glitter to the cinnamon sticks, use edible glitter. Regular glitter is not edible and can be harmful if ingested.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon ornaments are a beautiful and easy way to decorate your home for the holidays. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With a little creativity, you can create cinnamon ornaments that are unique and personal.
