Christmas Cupcakes

Christmas cupcakes are festively decorated treats made to resemble fun-loving Christmas characters or glittery Christmas trimmings. Christmas cupcakes can even be baked in the shape of Christmas trees. Cupcakes can be arranged in shapes like snowmen or even stacked to create Christmas trees for an even more elaborate display.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhOf5WgAha0

Christmas Cupcake Designs

Disney suggests making Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer cupcakes using a round, red lollipop with the stem trimmed down to form the famous reindeer's shiny nose. M&M's, or any other small, round candy, can be used to make Rudolph's eyes. pretzel pieces could be used to form Rudolph's antlers.http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50090

Martha Stewart has a snowman cupcake design using large marshmallows. Once the cupcakes are frosted, two marshmallows can be pressed on top, with icing in between to hold them together. Stewart recommends using chocolate sprinkles to make the snowman's eyes, and making his nose from the end of a gummy fish.http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=f75a418899172110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&rsc=also_try_p2

Other ideas include decorating cupcakes with icing, sprinkles and items to make them look like Christmas ornaments or piping the icing into a cone shape over the cupcakes, then dusting them with candy pieces, sprinkles or colored sugar to give the appearance of a Christmas tree.http://www.bakerella.com/candy-cane-christmas-tree-cupcakes/

In addition to decorating the individual cupcakes, the entire batch of cupcakes can be arranged together to form shapes like snowmen, Christmas trees, reindeer or ornaments. This idea works nicely when preparing Christmas cupcakes for a large amount of people to make a visually appealing presentation.

For a quick option, colored frosting and multicolored or metallic colored decorative sprinkles on frosted cupcakes creates basic Christmas cupcakes. Additionally, pre-made candy decorations can be purchased in the baking aisle of most grocery stores, then placed on frosted cupcakes for a quick and decorative treat.
