These are a delicious treat for the holidays, after a day the juice from the strawberry gets absorbed by the cupcake. Yummy!

Time 48m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups pastry flour
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla frosting, or as desired
1 drop green food coloring, or as desired
48 small strawberries, hulled
¼ cup round red candies, or as desired
star-shaped candies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease mini muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • Mix pastry flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder together in a bowl; add water, oil, and vanilla extract and blend until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
  • Mix frosting and green food coloring together in a bowl until evenly combined. Transfer frosting to a pipe bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner; refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  • Squeeze a small amount of frosting onto the hulled side of each strawberry and place each onto a cupcake so the strawberry is in the shape of a tree. Pipe frosting onto each strawberry to look like leaves. Add candies to the "tree" to look like ornaments and place a star-shaped candy on top of each "tree".
