Christmas Tree Cupcake

Christmas is in the air. Jingles at Starbucks. Scrambling to get gifts in order. I like making stained glass cookies this time of the year. They look like the ornaments :). This year, I'm going to join the cupcake force! Why not, it's Christmas!!

Christmas design possibilities are endless! But I really wanted to make a tree out of a cupcake that's 3D, simple yet full of Christmas spirit. My 3D decorations are usually gum paste but I opted for buttercream so it can be eaten with the cupcake. 

Cupcake flavors were chocolate, vanilla, spice and red velvet. After piping the buttercream leaves & decorating with colorful candies, the cupcake looked cute! With bright yellow buttercream ball on top and icing dust, it looked even more adorable!!

Merry Christmas everyone! ♥
