Pull-Apart Christmas Wreath Cake

Ingredients –
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. butter, melted
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 C. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. milk
green frosting
cupcake liners
disposable piping bag
medium star shaped frosting tip
red M&M’s or Sixlets
Wilton green fondant
small holly leaf cookie cutter
rolling pin

Directions –

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 count muffin tin with cupcake liners.

 

Combine the cupcake ingredients, mixing well.

Fill each cupcake tin about 3/4 full with cupcake batter (see photo).

Bake for 20-23 minutes.

 

 

Let the cupcakes cool completely.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, take 6 cupcakes and form a wreath (see photo).

 

 

Attach the star tip to the piping bag and fill the piping bag with green frosting.

Generously frost each cupcake with green frosting going in a circular motion and overlapping the cupcakes on the side.

 

 

Place 3 red candies directly in the middle of every other cupcake (see photo).

 

 

Open the fondant and discard the wrapper.

Use the rolling pin to roll the fondant to about 1/8-1/4″ and use the holly cookie cutter to cut the holly leaves out.

Place 3 holly leaves around each set of red candies.

 

 

*Recipe makes approximately 16-18 cupcakes. The wreath I made uses 6 cupcakes. You could easily use the batter to make mini cupcakes for a ‘thicker’ holiday wreath.
