Easy Christmas Cupcakes: Santa Hats and Christmas Trees posted by Something Swanky Pin Share Tweet Email SomethingSwanky is reader-supported.

These cupcakes are really more about the visual appeal than they are any certain type of recipe, so instead of my normal post (recipe and then directions), I’m just going to list off some of the supplies that you’ll need (nothing scary) and a couple of frosting tips that helped me! For the Santa Hats: Wilton Extra Large Round Tip Wilton Star Tip (for the white trim) For the Christmas Trees: Wilton Large Star Tip Wilton Christmas Sprinkles (Ornaments) Silver Dragees (Ornaments) *I used this no-mess frosting technique for these cupcakes. *I had a hard time finding stars for my Christmas Trees, and, in the end, I decided to simply punch out my own stars and tape them to toothpicks– worked for me! *I used these recipes for the buttercream and the chocolate cupcakes. *Sprinkle this disco dust over the cupcakes for a little extra Christmas Magic 🙂 *For an extra easy third Christmas cupcake, make snowballs by frosting the cupcakes with in any extra white buttercream and dipping them in sweetened flaked coconut: Merry Christmas!

I love these cupcakes! I wish I could find that large round tip! The disco dust really gives them all that extra something special! Reply
I love the snowballs! My husband hates coconut, but I wonder if I could do this with grated white chocolate instead? Hmmmm… Reply
Gorgeous cupcakes and so creative! I love how you made the star – I’ve had to do that because I always know what I want but can never find it! Thanks for sharing on Crazy Sweet Tuesday! Reply
Oh my goodness, these are adorable!! I totally need to make these with my daughters. They are all about the frosting and much less about the cupcake. 🙂 *congratulations on being a featured member at voiceBoks this week. ~Wishing you and your family a beautiful and blessed Christmas! Rosann Reply
