Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ½ cups vanilla frosting, divided
12 unfrosted cupcakes
2 drops green food coloring, or as needed
¼ cup sprinkles, colored sugar, or candies
12 unfrosted cupcakes, cooled

Steps:

  • Spoon 1/2 cup vanilla frosting into a bowl. Spread a thin layer over the top of each cupcake with a knife. Refrigerate cupcakes for 30 minutes to make decorating easier.
  • Combine remaining 2 cups of vanilla frosting and green food coloring in a bowl; stir until frosting is uniformly green. Add more green food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until your frosting is the color you like.
  • Transfer frosting to a piping bag. Working perpendicular to the top of each cupcake, pipe the green frosting around the edge, working inwards in a circular motion to create a tree shape. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
  • Decorate Christmas trees with sprinkles, colored sugar, or candies as the "ornaments" on the trees.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cupcakes turned out terrible.

These cupcakes were a complete disaster. The frosting was too runny and the cupcakes were too dry.

I had a hard time getting the frosting to pipe smoothly. It kept getting lumpy.

These cupcakes were a little bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These cupcakes were a hit at my Christmas party! They were so easy to make and they looked so festive. I used a star tip to pipe the frosting and it really made them look like little Christmas trees.
