There are a variety of ways that Christmas tree cupcakes can be made. Techniques range from using colored frosting and icing to 'draw' a Christmas tree to more elaborate projects that can be used to make three-dimensional Christmas trees on top of the cupcakes. You can experiment with the use of different icing tips and green or white icing to create texture effects. Christmas tree cupcakes can be decorated with frosting, candied fruit, candy sprinkles and Christmas candy.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/gale-gand/cupcake-christmas-tree-recipe/index.html
You can also turn green frosted cupcakes into a Christmas tree display by arranging them to form a triangle on a serving tray. Put two chocolate frosted cupcakes at the bottom of the triangle to make the tree's trunk. Once all the cupcakes are arranged, decorate them as a whole using decorator's icing and embellish with bows made of icing, or use pieces of candy to make it look like Christmas decorations.http://www.celebrations.com/content/Christmas-Tree-Cupcakes

This how-to video describes how to make Christmas tree cupcakes for family and friends during Christmas time. The video shows how to put the icing on cupcake to make a Christmas tree shape and what kind of candy to add to decorate each dessert.
Step One: Making the Christmas Tree
To start, you're going to put green frosting on your cupcake. Start pouring the frosting on the top of the cupcake from the center, and then move around the edges.

Once the Christmas tree frosting is finished, you can begin to add decorations to it. Start by adding red and white sprinkles to the tree, these will act as the lights on the tree. Once those sprinkles are added, top the tree with a piece of red candyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARAqb2ETMdM
