These candy trees are a quick and easy way to dress up your holiday cupcakes. I chose to make mini cupcakes for these the trees are the perfect size for the smaller cupcakes and I love that it makes more to feed a crowd.
Here is what you need:
Mini cupcakes:
- Box Cake mix (follow box instructions)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 oil
- 1 cup water
Frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup coconut
Trees:
- pretzel sticks
- Wilton green candy melts
- sprinkles
Make cupcake mix as directed on box. Let cupcakes cool completely.
Frosting: whip butter, add powdered sugar, mix in milk and vanilla. Frost cupcakes and top with coconut. It makes them look liked is just snowed.
To make candy trees add candy melts into decorator bag, microwave at 30 second intervals until melted. Snip off tip of bag and pipe in the shape of tree onto pretzel. Add sprinkles. Let set.
Finish off the cupcakes by adding tree. Enjoy!
