Ingredients

  • 6 cupcakes premade
  • 2 cans store-bought vanilla frosting
  • Green food coloring
  • Sprinkles
  • 6 Ice Cream Waffle Cones

Instructions

  • Start by cutting down your waffle cones if you want them to be shorter.
  • Add some white frosting in a piping bag and pipe a large star with a 1M tip. Then circle around the star to make a rosette, on the top of each cupcake.
  • Next, you will color your frosting that is left green and place in a piping bag.
  • Place your waffle cones on top of each cupcake.
  • Begin piping stars on each ice cream cone working your way up the cone. I like to start at the bottom.
  • Add on some sprinkles to look like Christmas lights if you want. Or you can even dust with powdered sugar in a sifter for a snow-themed cupcake.
  • Serve up these Christmas tree cupcakes for a holiday dessert.

Notes

Piping Star Tip: Use even pressure when squeezing out frosting. For avoiding the tails on the stars, squeeze, stop, and then pull away.
I used a larger star tip 1M for piping.
You can use a Ziploc bag instead of piping bag if you don't have piping bags.
Cupcakes - Any flavor or style of cupcakes work for this recipe. I used store bought cupcakes to make these tree cupcakes.
