How to make Christmas cupcakes?

For the Cupcakes

1. To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cupcake pan with cupcake papers.

2. Next, sift the dry ingredients, including the sugar, into a large bowl until well-combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until they are fully incorporated. Don’t worry if the batter appears lumpy.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake papers.

6. Bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and springy to the touch.

For the Buttercream

1. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until it reaches room temperature. Gradually add the confectioners sugar in two parts.

2. Add salt, milk, cream, and vanilla to the mixture and continue to mix until the mixture becomes fluffy.

3. Divide the frosting into several bowls and add food coloring to create green, red, and a small amount of orange. Transfer each colored frosting to its own piping bag.

For the Assembly

1. To make the cupcake decorations, start by preparing your buttercream in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Cream the room temperature butter, then add the confectioners sugar in two batches. Next, add salt, milk, cream, and vanilla and mix until fluffy.

2. For the wreaths, use a piping bag with an 898 tip to create a white base on your cupcake. Then, use a 349 or small leaf tip to pipe green leaves around the wreath. To make the ribbon, use a 101 or small petal tip. Finish off with gold or silver sugar pearls.

3. To create the poinsettia, use a 70 tip to pipe the green leaves directly onto the cupcake. Then, switch to a 352 tip to add the red leaves. Finally, add the small yellow flowers with a 3 tip or by snipping the tip of a piping bag.

4. For the Christmas tree, start with a white base and add a small amount of brown buttercream to create the tree stump. Use a number 30 or medium star tip to create dollops to form the tree. Decorate with rainbow or other color sugar pearls.

5. To make the snowman, mix some cake from the cupcakes with buttercream and orange food coloring to create the nose. Pipe a white base, then cut off a corner of a large marshmallow and place it at the edge of the cupcake for the snowman’s head. Use black buttercream to pipe the arms, mouth, and eyes, and add small sugar pearls for buttons.

6. To create the Santa hat, use a piping bag with a red buttercream and an 808 tip to pipe the hat. Then, use a medium star or 30 tip to add dollops of white buttercream for the fur around the hat.

Tips for making Christmas cupcakes

  • For the marshmallow snowman, remember to pick a small area on the cupcake surface for the nose to help it stick better 🙂
  • If desired, you can use whole milk yogurt instead of sour cream. I do it often and don’t notice much of a difference.
  • For a festive and minty twist, mix in some crushed candy canes to the batter at the end.
  • To reduce the sweetness of the frosting, you can use Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream instead.
