CHRISTMAS TREE CUPCAKES RECIPE - FOOD.COM
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.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4 and line a muffin tin with cases.
Cream 225g of butter and the golden caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well in between. Finally fold in the flour, cocoa and baking powder until well combined.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cases and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the cupcakes are springy to the touch and a skewer comes out clean.
To make the buttercream use an electric or hand mixer and whisk the golden icing sugar and the rest of the butter together until you get a breadcrumb texture. Add the milk and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add a few drops of green food colouring to the buttercream and mix until you get a ‘Christmas tree’ green colour.
Pipe the buttercream onto the cakes in a pyramid shape and top the ‘trees’ with festive sprinkles for the perfect finishing touch.
