Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- Tear off a 30"x 18" sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
- Fold in 1/2 to 18"x 15".
- Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18" long with a diameter of 5" at the widest end (Cornucopia opening).
- Fasten end with clear tape.
- Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid.
- Bend tail of cone up then down at end.
- Spray outside of cone with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place on cookie sheet.
- Open and unroll first can of breadstick dough on work surface.
- Seperate breadsticks.
- Begin by wraping one breadstick around tip of cone.
- Brush end of next breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first breadstick.
- Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until there are 3 breadsticks left.
- Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then braid.
- Brush bread around opening of Cornucopia with Glaze.
- Gently press on braid.
- Brush entire Cornucopia with Glaze.
- Bake 45 minutes in preheated oven or until bread is a rich brown.
- (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with poeces of foil.) Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack.
- Carefully remove foil when cool.
- (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.) Fill Cornucopia with the assorted raw vegetables directly on table and let them spill out of opening NOTE-- To prevent this center-piece from absorbing atmospheric moisture, the baked Cornucopia cone can be sprayed with shellac or clear enamel.
- If treated in this manner, the Cornucopia will be inedible but can be preserved and re-used.
THANKSGIVING CORNUCOPIA DECORATED CAKE
Entered for safe-keeping. From Woman's World 11/10/08, this decorated cake is a centerpiece, using golden yellow food color, Tootsie Roll Midgees, Marzipan fruits, nonpareil-coated gummi raspberry candies, candy corn and Mellowcreme pumpkins, with a waffle ice cream corn to form the horn of plenty. The Tootsie Roll Midgees offer a dark contrast to show off the colors of the other candies, and are shaped a variety of ways: rope, braid, and leaves. Note: If the Tootsie Rolls are too firm to roll, place them on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on HIGH in 5-second intervals until pliable. Cooking time is for cake layers per your favorite recipe.

Steps:
- Tint frosting yellow with fool coloring.
- Place 1 cake layer on serving plate; spread with 1 cup frosting.
- Top with remaining layer; spread top and side with remaining frosting.
- For "cornucopia", using hands, roll 5 Tootsie Rolls into 5 (16-inch-long) ropes; wrap around ice cream cone, starting at pointed end. Roll 3 Tootsie Rolls into 3 (10-inch-long) ropes; braid together. Wrap braid around top edge of cone; place "cornucopia" on cake.
- Using rolling pin, roll out each remaining Tootsie Roll to 1/8-inch thickness; using 1 1/2-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut out "leaves.".
- Garnish cake and "cornucopia" with "leaves" and other candies.
Tips:
- Choose a sturdy base: The cornucopia is the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table, so it needs to be able to support the weight of all the food you'll be putting in it. A good option is to use a bread cone or a large piece of cardboard rolled into a cone shape.
- Line the cornucopia with plastic wrap: This will help to keep the food from sticking to the cornucopia and make cleanup a breeze.
- Start with the heavier items: Place the heavier items, such as fruits and vegetables, at the bottom of the cornucopia. This will help to keep the cornucopia from tipping over.
- Add the lighter items: Once you've added the heavier items, you can start adding the lighter items, such as chips and popcorn. Be careful not to overfill the cornucopia, or it will become too heavy to carry.
- Decorate the cornucopia: Once you're finished filling the cornucopia, you can decorate it with ribbon, bows, or other Thanksgiving-themed decorations.
Conclusion:
The cornucopia is a beautiful and festive way to display your Thanksgiving feast. With a little planning and effort, you can create a cornucopia that is both visually appealing and delicious. So get creative and have fun!
