Christmas Tree Mini Cupcakes Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease mini muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Mix pastry flour white sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl; add water oil and vanilla extract and blend until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean 8 to 12 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Mix frosting and green food coloring together in a bowl until evenly combined. Transfer frosting to a pipe bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner; refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Squeeze a small amount of frosting onto the hulled side of each strawberry and place each onto a cupcake so the strawberry is in the shape of a tree. Pipe frosting onto each strawberry to look like leaves. Add candies to the \tree\ to look like ornaments and place a star-shaped candy on top of each \tree\.
