GUYS!!! Seriously, How fun are these cupcakes! You’re probably thinking they take forever to make and a bunch of special tools that you don’t have… totally wrong!They’re so easy and the recipe is actually made with a Pillsbury™ box mix and frosting I picked up at Stop&Shop. There’s no need to put ourselves out on every recipe this holiday season. Yes, some recipes are more than worth the extra effort and time, but when it comes to cake and cupcake mixes, Pillsbury™ got it right! Plus, green frosting without getting your hands covered in food coloring, now that’s what I call a holiday win!
There’s nothing quite like a light and fluffy cupcake piled high with frosting. But it’s even better when it’s super cute. I love making cute desserts and decorating with sprinkles relaxes me. Matt sometimes jokes about how long it takes me to frost and decorate a cupcake, but I just like to take me time and get in the zone, you know?
We all love cute things, and around the holidays, cute = impressive, and we want to impress those holiday guests, right? But here’s the thing, don’t go overboard. I highly recommend doing a couple things that “look” or maybe even are over the top, but keep the rest simple. Your guests won’t mind and you won’t have holiday burnout by December 10th!
Easy Christmas Tree Cupcakes
Prep: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 chocolate or vanilla cupcakes
- 2 Tablespoons green food coloring
- 3 cups homemade or store-bought vanilla frosting
- Edible silver ball sprinkles
- 6 ice cream sugar cones
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- If necessary, slice the tops off of the cupcakes to create a flat surface. Slather a small portion of the frosting on the cupcakes to create a base atop which to position the sugar cone tree.
- Stir the food coloring into the remaining frosting, adding more food coloring as necessary to achieve your desired green color. Apply a thin layer of frosting on the exteriors of the sugar cones. Transfer the remaining frosting to a pastry bag fitted with the star-shaped pastry tip.
- Place the sugar cones atop the cupcakes then pipe leaves onto the trees. Garnish with the edible silver ball sprinkles and dust with powdered sugar.
