You'll Need

• 1 box yellow or chocolate cake mix (and accompanying ingredients needed to make batter)
• 6 cups green icing

• Christmas sprinkles
• 1 pastry bag or big ziploc bag
• 1 star cake decorating tip 

1. Bake cupcakes according to package instructions.  Allow to cool completely.
2. Place a small amount of frosting on the cupcakes to act as glue for the cones.  Gently press the cone onto the cupcake to form a "Christmas Tree".
