Total Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Yield 12 cupcakes

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.

Christmas Tree Cupcakes Recipe - Food.com image

I found a Christmas tree cupcake pan at a local supermarket and decided to make them using the Easy White Cake recipe from the recipe booklet which came with my new (Christmas gift) KitchenAid mixer. They were fun to make and messy to frost. LOL Having more than one pan would definately have speeded things up. I decorated the trees with some star-shaped Christmas candies. I also dropped some of the candies into the batter before baking, which gave some of the cupcakes a color-spotted inside. The round cake bits which resulted from cutting off the cupcake "humps" make nice, bite size, sandwich 'cookies' when put together with extra frosting. Spread the frosting on the flat side of one round and cover with another.

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 20 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup nonfat milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in mixer bowl.
  • Add shortening, milk and vanilla.
  • Mix for about 1 minute.
  • Stop and scrape bowl.
  • Add egg whites.
  • Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  • Fill greased and floured cupcake molds about halfway.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Slice rounded"humps" from cupcakes.
  • Cool on wire racks.
  • Frost with green frosting and decorate.
