Sugar Cone Christmas Trees Recipe

Beautiful sugar cone Christmas trees are an elegant and edible way to dress up your holiday dessert table. Besides, it is easy and fun to make, this is the perfect craft for kids and adults alike.

You can prep them days in advance and they double as a dessert and adorable decor. Then Add them to your holiday centerpieces or use them to top a snow-covered cake or cupcakes.

Steps to Make It:

1. Gather the ingredients. 

2. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the frosting. Beat or mix together the frosting and the food coloring until the color is saturated. Add a drop of black food coloring in order to make the darker pine color. This is completely optional. You can make it as deep or light green as you wish. 

3. Place a “grass” or “hair” style tip onto your piping bag using standard couplings. If you can’t find this tip you can also substitute a star tip.

4. Fill the piping bag with the frosting and twist the end closed. 

5. Pipe along the rim of the cone and secure it onto a small piece of parchment paper or wax paper. This will make it easier to decorate as it won’t slide around so much. Once finished, you can move it around by the paper and transfer it onto other surfaces with ease. 

6. Pipe along the bottom of the cone, looking to fill in all of the space so that you can’t see any of the cone. You can make the strands longer or shorter based on how fast you pull the piping bag away from the cone. You can choose based on your personal preference. 

7. Continue to pipe along the cone, spinning or turning the paper as you pipe. Cover the entire cone. 

8. Sprinkle the sprinkles and decorations over the frosting delicately. You can also gently place larger sprinkles onto the frosting. 

9. Allow the cones to dry before trying to move them. They look lovely on top of white vanilla cupcakes or as a part of your holiday dessert tables.
