Directions Christmas Tree Mini Cupcakes
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease mini muffin cups or line with paper liners.
Mix pastry flour, white sugar, and cocoa powder together in a bowl, add water, oil, and vanilla extract and blend until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Mix frosting and green food coloring together in a bowl until evenly combined. Transfer frosting to a pipe bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner, refrigerate for 5 minutes.
Squeeze a small amount of frosting onto the hulled side of each strawberry and place each onto a cupcake so the strawberry is in the shape of a tree. Pipe frosting onto each strawberry to look like leaves. Add candies to the \"tree\" to look like ornaments and place a star-shaped candy on top of each \"tree\".
