Make your favorite cupcakes and ice (anything would work for these). Make circles about four inches in diameter with a stencil (or use a lid of a jar about the size desired). Make the hands of the clock out of black construction paper and glue them down and them glue fake gem or sequin on top. Glue toothpick to the back of clock and stick it into the top of the cupcake.
Put your cookie icing into condiment squeeze bottles. It keeps them wet and allows for more precise decorating.
Make your favorite cupcake recipe and let cool. Make using printed cupcake paper for more festive look but isn’t totally necessary. Use ice cream waffle cone and spread green icing on cone (this will allow a little more goof proof covering – if you are an expert icer then skip that step) pipe green icing in small stars until covered and set aside until you have all done. Spread liberal amount of white icing on top of cupcake and stick the tree down into icing to make it stay in place. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve at party.
This is really cool and it is so much easier to make then you would think. Use a set of circle cookie cutters that has multiple sizes. Make a sugar cookie recipe like the one below:
Make a good tasting green sugar cookie icing like:
and liberally coat the tops of all cookies. While icing is wet place cookies in succession from largest to smallest making sure to gently place one on top of the other without squishing the cookies beneath to avoid making the icing ooze out of the sides. Finish the design with red hots and pipe icing for garland of your color choice.
What a creative idea. Bake chocolate cupcakes and attach circle (for head) and two arms of a gingerbread cookie to it with chocolate frosting. Colorful and your guests will love it.
