Preparation:

Step 1
• Place 21 cupcakes tightly on a platter or board in a triangle shape, with 6 cupcakes at the base. Place 2 cupcakes underneath to form the trunk of the tree. Break a graham cracker in half, spread with chocolate icing, and press it onto the trunk, as shown in the photo.
Step 2
• Spread the remaining chocolate frosting on the bottom two cupcakes, using an offset spatula to create texture. Tint the vanilla frosting green and transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with an open star tip. Starting at the bottom of the triangle and working upward, pipe green frosting onto the tops of each cupcake using small downward strokes to completely cover the tree.
Step 3
• Decorate the tree with candy. Flatten a gumdrop and cut it into a star. Place it at the top of the tree.

  To make the chocolate glaze for the trunk, mix 0.5 cups of vanilla glaze with 100 grams of melted dark chocolate.
