Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 12 Chocolate Cupcakes Homemade or Boxed Cake Mix
- 12 Sugar Cones
- 2 Cups White Frosting Store Bought or Homemade
- 2 Cups Green Frosting
- Pearl Sprinkles
- Gold Star Sprinkles
Instructions
- Spread a layer of white frosting on top of each cupcake. Set them aside.
- Use a butter knife or small spatula to spread green frosting around each sugar cone, but don’t cover the very top. Leave a small space so you can hold the cone without getting messy.
- Carefully place each frosted cone upside down on top of a frosted cupcake. The green cone should look like a tree sitting on top of snow.
- Fill a piping bag with green frosting and use a grass tip (#233) to pipe frosting around the cone. Start at the bottom and work your way up. If you don’t have a grass tip, a star tip will work as well.
- Add white pearl sprinkles to look like ornaments and place a gold star on top of each tree.
- Repeat for the rest of the cupcakes, then serve and enjoy your cute Christmas tree treats!
Notes
- These cupcakes are best eaten the same day since the frosting on the cones starts to harden.
- Store the cupcakes in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Have fun with the sprinkles to decorate the trees.
- Check out this site for temperatures for all baked goods. This helped ensure the cupcakes were moist and super soft.
