Cupcake Christmas Tree

Green Food Coloring

Toothpicks

Colorful Candies (I used rolos with red and gold packaging)

I used chocolate cupcakes for this, and I also added a teaspoon of peppermint extract. I like mint everything and the holidays make it more acceptable so I add it to whatever I can! Any kind of cupcakes you want will work for this- just keep them mini!

Dye your frosting with food coloring to get the green you like and get your cake decorating tips out. Once the cupcakes are placed on the cone, start frosting! Again, from the bottom to the top.

From here, you can decorate as you wish. I added some white sugar balls to the cupcakes and stuck in some colorfully wrapped rolos to the white spaces that you could see on the cone still.
