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.

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.
