Decorating Christmas Cupcakes

Decorating Christmas cupcakes is easier than you think. The red and white swirls of frosting on these Christmas cupcakes make them festive and fun. You will need a few supplies…

* White frosting
* Red food coloring
* Frosting bag fitted with an oversized frosting tip
* Christmas cupcake wrappers
* Baked cupcakes

Christmas cupcake wrappers:

Drop the cupcakes into the cupcake wrappers before you begin to frost. Confetti Couture offers two fun Christmas cupcake wrappers collections. Elf Laundry Dessert Skirtz are traditional red and green Christmas cupcake wrappers with playful elf clothes strung from the laundry line.

Holiday Brilliance Dessert Skirtz bring a contemporary look with a whimsical Christmas tree design. These pink and green cupcakes wrappers are a step off the beaten path.

Decorating your Christmas Cupcakes:

Separate half of the frosting into a bowl. Add the red food coloring and mix. Then, fill the frosting bag on one side with the red frosting, taking care to leave the opposite side of the bag clean. Now, put the white frosting in the bag, opposite the red frosting. Squeeze a bit of the frosting out onto a plate until you have a bit of red and a bit of white frosting in each squeeze of your frosting bag.

In three smooth swirls, pipe the red and white frosting onto the top of each cupcake.

That’s it. Now celebrate.
