Ingredients

  • 2 boxes of cake mix
  • 2 containers of frosting
  • Green food coloring
  • 1 package of star-shaped sprinkles
  • 2 packages of mini cupcake liners
  • 1 package of jumbo cupcake liners
  • 1 package of cake pop sticks
  • 1 package of white gumdrops
  • 1 package of silver or gold stars
  • 1 package of green and red sugar sprinkles

Instructions

To make the cupcake Christmas tree stand, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Grease and line a cupcake pan with the mini cupcake liners. Fill the liners with the cake mix and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cupcakes are done baking, allow them to cool before moving on to the next step.

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the jumbo cupcake liners by greasing and lining them in the same way as you did with the mini cupcakes. Fill the jumbo cupcake liners with the remaining cake mix and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the jumbo cupcakes are done baking, allow them to cool before moving on to the next step.

Once the cupcakes and jumbo cupcakes have cooled, you can begin to assemble the cupcake stand. Begin by arranging the jumbo cupcakes in a pyramid shape, with the largest cupcake at the bottom and the smaller cupcakes stacked on top of it. Place the cake pop sticks in between each cupcake to hold them together. Then, pipe the frosting onto the jumbo cupcakes in a spiral pattern, starting at the top and working your way down.

Next, pipe the frosting onto the mini cupcakes, using the same spiral pattern as you did with the jumbo cupcakes. To give the mini cupcakes a festive look, add a few drops of green food coloring to the frosting, then sprinkle the star-shaped sprinkles on top. Finally, arrange the mini cupcakes around the jumbo cupcakes, and add the white gumdrops, silver or gold stars, and green and red sugar sprinkles to the top.

Once the cupcake Christmas tree stand is finished, you can enjoy it as a festive centerpiece or even as a special treat for your guests. This showstopping cupcake stand is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering, so don’t be afraid to get creative and have a little fun in the kitchen this holiday season!
