Easy Christmas Tree Cupcake Tutorial
By Dreamer
Items used in these Christmas tree cupcakes:
• cupcakes
• sugar ice cream cones
• green buttercream with Wilton tips 352 and 18
• white buttercream
• shredded coconut
• candy covered sunflower seeds
• star sprinkles
Procedure:
Using the white buttercream, cover the top of the cupcake. Dip the edges of the cupcake into the shredded coconut and press the sugar cone into place in the centre of the cupcake. Using the green buttercream, starting at the bottom, cover the sugar cone in "branches" using an elongated branch affect (stretching the tip by pulling out away from the cone). While the buttercream is still soft, add the chocolate covered sunflower seeds as lights around the tree and a star sprinkle on the top.
