- Bake your cupcakes using your favourite recipe and allow to cool completely, or use shop-bought cupcakes or muffins.
- Take approximately 500g of the buttercream and add a drop or two of green food colouring. Stir and add more colouring, a drop at a time, until your desired hue is reached. Fill a piping bag with the green buttercream and set aside.
- Spread a thin layer of the remaining plain buttercream onto the top of each cupcake.
- Working perpendicular to a cupcake, start piping the green buttercream around the edge, working inwards in a circular motion to create a tree shape. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
- Use a variety of your favourite decorations to add 'ornaments' to the Christmas trees. You can use silver dragees, coloured sugar or sprinkles, red jelly beans, etc. Have fun!
