Preparation of Christmas Tree Cupcakes Cupcakes:

We present you a recipe to prepare for Christmas, or well, at another time of the year you can also. From the base of the cupcake you can what you like, you can see other recipes on our page. It is an easy recipe but it has some complication to give the proper shape, you can do it with a pastry bag and when we make the buttercream, we go around and pull it up so that it looks more like a Christmas tree and then you decorate it like a Christmas tree. If you want it to be perfect, there are more options, you can look for some aluminum cones that are used in hospitality, you make the buttercream thick, we put the buttercream and put it in the freezer an hour or two until it takes consistency, then we remove it from the mold and we mount on the cupcake. Another option is to look for small ice cream cones, we will put the buttercream on top and the decorations, if you are already very greedy you can fill the cone with some other cream. 

Beat the butter with the sugar until it is creamy, this can be done by hand or with an electric mixer.

Add the oil and vanilla essence to taste. If you want to change the vanilla essence for another essence such as orange or blackberry, you can do it. Keep beating until the butter is very soft.

To continue with the Christmas cupcakes, add the egg and milk. Keep beating until all the ingredients are integrated.

To finish, add the flour together with the baking powder and continue beating until integrating and leaving a creamy and homogeneous mixture.

Place the mixture in cupcake molds and bake for 25 minutes at 170ºC (338ºF) .
