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!
