Super simple, super tasty: Christmas tree cupcakes

Is there a Christmas party at school or daycare or would you like to bake a simple Christmas recipe with your children without having to spend hours preparing cookies in the kitchen? Then these simple and super-sweet Christmas tree cupcakes are just the thing. Easy to make and incredibly delicious! A guest post by Sabrina from “Starlights in the Kitchen”.

For 9-12 cupcakes you need:

• 2 eggs (size M)
• 150 g powdered sugar
• 1 pkg vanilla sugar
• 50 ml rapeseed or sunflower oil
• 120 ml milk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 200 g spelt flour

Additionally for baking and decoration:

• Muffin baking tray
• 9-12 muffin cases
• 250 ml cream
• 60 g powdered sugar
• 1 pkg cream stiffener
• food coloring
• piping bag
• Sugar pearls or sprinkles

Tip: If you don't want to use food coloring, you can also make it yourself with vegetables, e.g. spinach or parsley. To do this, wash and puree the leaves. Then pass the mixture through a fine sieve and collect the juice. Bring this to the boil in a pan, where the chlorophyll can then be skimmed off (forms on the surface), which can then be used for further processing. Other options are matcha tea or barley grass powder.
