Easy Christmas Tree Cone Cupcakes
Crayons & Cravings
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix plus other ingredients required for mix (usually oil, eggs, and water)
6 sugar cones
1/2 container green frosting or white/vanilla icing and green food coloring
Edible green color mist spray
2-3 packs M&M candies
1/4 cup powdered sugar for "snow" (optional)
Directions
- Using the instructions from the boxed cake mix or homemade recipe you choose, make the cupcakes. Once baked, set aside and let cool completely.
- If you have green icing, move on to step three. If you don't have green icing, mix white 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 small dots of icing on the "M" sides of M&Ms and stick them to the "tree" and let them dry in place as ornaments. Use as many candies as you'd like for decorations, using this method.
- Carefully place the cone on top of the cupcake.
- For extra fun, sprinkle powdered sugar on and around the trees to look like snow!
