Christmas Tree Cupcakes
Who says making decorative Christmas-themed cupcakes has to be difficult? If you want to make cupcakes that will make your loved ones smile, try this amazing cupcake recipe.
It is simple enough to prepare because it calls for a box of cake mix to use when making the cupcakes. You can select your favorite type of boxed cake mix, although the triple chocolate fudge one is so decadent and delicious.
Besides the boxed cake mix, you will need a few additional ingredients, including decorative sprinkles and pretzel sticks to make the trees and butter with powdered sugar to create the best frosting from scratch.
You can decorate these cupcakes by yourself or get the children to lend a hand. No matter who participates in the cupcake decorating, you will have a great time putting these sweet treats together.
How to Store Your Christmas Tree Cupcakes
If you need to store the Christmas Tree Cupcakes before bringing them to an event, line them one-by-one on parchment paper in a long plastic container with plenty of space. Do not stack the cupcakes because then the frosting will get ruined.
You should put an airtight lid on top of the container to keep the frosting from drying out. You can put your Christmas Tree Cupcakes in the fridge to keep them fresh for five days or place them in the freezer and store them for several months, which may be something you want to do if you are preparing these cupcakes ahead of time.
