Making these cupcakes are super easy using Wilton‘s decorating icing and Christmas Tree Lights Decorating Kit! The icing already has the piping tip built in. Genius idea right?
I love this kit because the sprinkles are absolutely adorable!
After I piped on the frosting, I cut a small piece of candy lace (it’s not licorice flavor, more of a fruit flavor) and placed the sprinkle lights along the candy string. Then I scattered some of the round sprinkles on the cupcake.
Next I arranged the cupcakes into a tree shape.
A fondant star on top along with some candy cane sticks for the trunk completed the cute Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake!
You can also make individual trees – just pile on that frosting and decorate!
This is a great project for kids to make during their Winter Break or on a snow day! Find all of these Wilton products for this super fun cupcake activity at your local Target stores!
