How to make

For the cupcakes – makes 12

125g unsalted butter, softened

125g caster sugar

2 large, free range eggs

125g self-raising flour

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3 tablespoons milk

 

To decorate

900g Wilton Creamy Decorators Icing

Wilton Green Icing Colour Gel

White Sugar pearls/Gold Stars/White Nonpareils

Wilton Colour Swirl Decorating Set

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 160ºc. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix. Add flour and milk, mix to a soft dropping consistency.

Step 2

Line cupcake tin with cake cases and fill with batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a cocktail stick comes out clean and the tops are soft and golden brown.

Step 3

Separate 900g of Wilton Creamy Decorators Icing into 3 bowls, leave 1 bowl white. Tint 1 bowl to a light green colour and tint the third bowl a darker green colour using the Wilton Gel Icing Colour.

Step 4

Put together the Colour Swirl Decorating Coupler according to instructions, using the Wilton 1M piping tip. Half fill each of the 3 bags in the 3 colours. (1 white, 1 light green and 1 dark green.)

Step 5

Pipe a swirl onto each of the cupcakes, starting at the edge of each cake and swirl around the cake coming toward the centre of the cake to end up in the centre of the cake. Release the pressure and pull away – this should leave a clear tip at the top of the cake, which is the tip of the tree.

Step 6

Sprinkle with the decoration of your choice as shown.
