1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup milk
For the frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Green food coloring
Now, let's get started on making these adorable mini cupcake Christmas trees! The first step is to preheat your oven to 350°F and line a mini cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, egg, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add in a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the desired shade of green for your Christmas trees.
To assemble the mini cupcake Christmas trees, start by piping a swirl of frosting on top of each cupcake. Then, using a small star tip, pipe small swirls around the edges of the cupcake, gradually decreasing in size as you move up. Finally, top each tree with a small star for the tree topper.
For an extra festive touch, you can also add sprinkles or edible silver balls to your trees for ornaments. These mini cupcake Christmas trees are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering and will have everyone coming back for more.
