5. Brush the snowflake with egg wash.
6. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.

## Equipment

- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- small object (2 inches in diameter)
- knife
- hand mixer
- stand mixer
- pastry brush

## Tips

- You can take a shortcut by using puff pastry instead of making cinnamon rolls from scratch. Two boxes of puff pastry (each with two sheets) are needed for this.
- When using puff pastry, cut each sheet into a 10-inch diameter circle using a plate as a guide.
- Cream cheese frosting can be made by creaming butter and cream cheese, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Allow the snowflake to cool for a few minutes after baking before frosting and dusting with powdered sugar.
