Easy Christmas Tree Cone Cupcakes
Crayons & Cravings
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix and the other ingredients it says it requires (usually oil, eggs, and water)
6 sugar cones
1/2 a container of green frosting, or white/vanilla icing and green food coloring
Edible green color mist spray
2-3 normal-sized packs of M&M candies
1/4 cup powdered sugar for "snow" (optional)
Directions
- Using the instructions from the boxed cake mix you choose, make the cupcakes. Once baked, set aside and let cool completely.
- If you don’t have green icing, mix white or vanilla icing with green food coloring and stir until you reach your desired shade of green.
- Pipe green frosting onto the cupcakes.
- Spray the sugar cones with edible green mist (or spread them with green icing), then set them aside to dry.
- Once the sugar cones (Christmas trees) are dry, place a small dot of icing on the “M” side of the M&Ms and stick it to the “tree” and let it dry as an ornament. Repeat this step around 10 times around the cone.
- Carefully place the cone on top of the cupcake.
- For extra fun, sprinkle powdered sugar on and around the trees to look like snow!
