Coconut Garland

Cream together the butter and confectioner's sugar in a medium-sized bowl until well combined

Add the vanilla extract and egg, beating until smooth

Add the flour and coconut, mixing until well combined

Place the mixture into a piping bag with a wide, flat tip (about 1/2 cm thick)

Pipe garlands about 5 cm in diameter onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 cm space between each garland

Bake in a moderate oven (180°C) preheated for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on the bottom

Remove from the baking sheet and let cool

For decorating, mix confectioner's sugar and water together until smooth

Brush this mixture over the garlands and sprinkle with colored sprinkles

Let the glaze set before storing the garlands in airtight containers

You should end up with about 60 garlands.
