Ingredients

Your favorite Cake mix, or your best cake recipe - twice

Cream cheese frosting

Sanding Sugar

Directions

To make the trees, bake the batter inside waffle cones, lining the cones with parchment paper and standing them in holes cut into an inverted disposable foil roasting pan.

When the cakes are ready, remove and discard the cones and parchment.

Then invert each tree cake onto a regular cupcake, cementing them together with a dab of frosting.

Cover the entire tree, cone and cupcake, with cream cheese frosting using a pastry bag and a star tip.

Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and use a little extra to create beds of "snow" for serving.

The picture is of snow-laden trees, but you could do them green with colored "ornaments" and dots.

Be creative.

And don't forget, this is a double cupcake!!!

You know this might go pretty good with my ice cream cone cupcake recipe. Using them instead of just a regular cupcake as the bottom might make it look like the trunk of the tree, hmmmm. I will have to ty this. What a great fun idea. Thank you for such a creative post!

I love these! I really need to get a decorating set and learn how to use it. I miss out on so many fun recipes without one.

You could also make mini-cupcakes for the base, which would make the base smaller than the bottom of the tree, and would look more correct.
