Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
  • 16 ounce can vanilla frosting
  • 16 ounce can chocolate frosting
  • M&M candies
  • green food coloring

Instructions

  • Bake the cupcakes as directed on the box and let them cool completely.
  • Next, arrange the cupcakes according to the template in the shape of a Christmas tree.
  • Frost the bottom two cupcakes with chocolate frosting to create the trunk.
  • Tint the white frosting green with a few drops of food coloring. Make sure you save some white frosting to use for the garland.
  • Frost the remaining cupcakes with the green frosting using a swirling motion.
  • Connect each cupcake by piping frosting between them, filling any gaps.
  • With the remaining white frosting and a star tip, pipe a garland design on top of the green cupcakes.
  • Finally, decorate the tree with M&M candies for ornaments.

Notes

If you find the cupcakes are not close enough to each other, you can try adding a dab of frosting to the sides of the cupcakes and get them to stick together.
