You ever see those cupcake cakes in the grocery store? Well they are super easy to make. Here is one that I created for my office co-workers to say Merry Christmas!
To make your own, bake your cupcakes using your favorite cupcake recipe; I used 13 cupcakes for the cake I made. Form your cupcakes into a triangular shape with about 2-3 cupcakes centererd at the bottom of the cupcake to create a base.
Add a small bit of frosting to the bottom of each cupcake to create a 'glue' to prevent cupcakes from moving around while frosting.
Frost your cupcakes with green frosting same as you would a regular cake, being sure to spread frosting in an even layer. Frost the base white, red or brown.
Add pretzel rods to the bottom of the triangle to mimic a trunk and decorate with candy garland. Pipe on a star and 'snow' for a wintery look.
GET CREATIVE!
Old Fashioned hard candy placed at the base of the tree creates the look of Christmas gifts!
I also made these sprinkly cupcakes - just for fun!
