These Easy Christmas Wreath Cupcakes made with chocolate cupcakes, homemade buttercream frosting, fondant, and large sprinkles! These are some of the cutest and easiest Christmas cupcakes you’ll find!
Before beginning to decorate, be sure that your chocolate cupcakes are cool to the touch. Decorating when they’re warm will cause the frosting to melt and slip off – drooly frosting is not good! Let ’em cool completely.
Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter, icing sugar and milk altogether until smooth.
Color the frosting with green gel food coloring and mix on high until completely tinted.
Using a piping bag, dot around the circumference of each cupcake, making two rows of pom-poms around the outside of the cupcake.
Roll fondant into ½ inch spheres and then shape into 12 little stars. You can easily do this by flattening the spheres then creating indents into the side. For sharper points for stars, you can use the edge of a cookie cutter, scissor, knife, etc.
Place one star on each cupcake.
Add your multi-colored candies and serve. Enjoy and happy holidays!
