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.
- Decorate Christmas trees with sprinkles, colored sugar, or candies as the "ornaments" on the trees.

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.
