  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
  • green food coloring

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare the cupcake batter according directions on the box.
  3. Stir green food coloring into the batter until it is a bright green color.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan, filling the cups no more than 2/3 of the way full.
  5. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
Frosting Directions
  1. Add softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl with an electric hand mixer and cream until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and mix until well incorporated.
  3. Add a splash of milk or heavy cream as needed until you have a smooth frosting that can hold a peak.
  4. Add green food coloring and mix until the frosting is bright green.
To Decorate
  1. Scoop the frosting into a piping bag with a star tip.
  2. Arrange the cupcakes in a large circle. The outer circle should have 15 cupcakes, and the inner circle will have 9 cupcakes.
  3. Pipe icing onto the cupcakes in a criss-cross design to look like a wreath texture.
  4. Top with holiday sprinkles and a bow made with Twizzlers candy.
