Decorating cupcakes #22: Christmas Tree

[kristinachka111]

how do you EAT that?

[yoyomax12]

@kristinachka111 Open your mouth and take a bite and swallow, have you never done this before? Weird

[Idamdcillinzie]

@yoyomax12 You're funny(:

[IHaveALollypop]

why do you need to add scotch tape?

[yoyomax12]

@IHaveALollypop It stiffens and strengthens the bag so that you get a leaf shape and so that it doesn't break open on you when squeezing it

[ThePalmtreemaniac]

i made these for christmas!!!

[happyapple777]

How about SUSHI cupcakes :D

[KirsyV1]

♥♥♥♥ :D

[mentoring42]

How can anyone dislike this? It's beautiful.

[funfun223lol]

can you use a mini icecream cone?

[yoyomax12]

@funfun223lol yes

[Cupcom5]

god that looks so good! the kids are gona have tummy aches. me too! ^_^

[ZackyTay]

do u eat all ur creations ? <3 very curious <3!

[yoyomax12]

@ZackyTay Some get eaten, some given away, some thrown out, some have the icing scraped off and the cupcake reused for another video (I'm giving away all my secrets).

[crystaljasmin]

@garu1717 thanks baby:)

[garu1717]

@crystaljasmin no thank you the cupcakes were delicious and indeed they looked amazing!!!

[Elya266]

thanks for this idea. I was looking for a good idea for my cuz birthday that was exactly on christmas. thx

[crystaljasmin]

omg thank you! im making these and they came out great:)

[yoyomax12]

@MademoisVivi You could, but it may end up being pretty crunchy when it dries

[dylanparkerkelley]

do you guys in Canada celebrate Christmas?

[yoyomax12]

@dylanparkerkelley Most people do

[awesomepeta]

Is this very time consuming? can you make lots of them?

[yoyomax12]

@awesomepeta It is time consuming, but less so if you make all the bases first, freeze them and then ice them. They will be more stable and you won't have to fuss as much.

[awesomepeta]

@yoyomax12 thank you!

[latinladi21]

I love them all, but my favorite is the star tip frosting . Thank you for this wonderful idea:)

[reeram]

You are one super talented lady! =)

[ringette151]

Awesome!!!!!



[ThePurpleSharpies]

You could also use a pointed mini ice cream cone. They work as well. :D

[asdfghjkl888100]

what would happen if i only put the cone on without a mini cupcake?

[yoyomax12]

@asdfghjkl888100 You'll have a smaller tree

[CPizasome]

1. Make little presents and put them under!

2. do you eat these when your done?

[yoyomax12]

@CPizasome 1. good idea

2. some of them

[breeanna42]

Cool so doing that:D (I luv cupcakes)

[clubpenguin1212100]

i can imagine how long it would take to decorate a whole batch of these....

[TheMissJigglypuff]

Hey im totally new to this but i love this vid . was wondering what type of icing is the best to use? :)

[yoyomax12]

@TheMissJigglypuff buttercream is a good decorating icing

[Butterflyisis]

Super easy & so cute, TY!

[UberBreannaDinosaur]

I used a miniature ice cream cone to make my tree's structure, and it worked wonderfully :)

I think if I were to make them again, I would put something in the ice cream cone as a little surprise inside... Perhaps some of the stuff that makes the cake pops!

[yoyomax12]

@UberBreannaDinosaur I wish I would have thought of that when I made this, it would have been much easier

[Lamony5775]

I love you.

[yoyomax12]

@Lamony5775 Thank you <3

[funfun223lol]

can you do a big bird cupcake?

[cabezadenido7]

@yoyomax12 love love love your cupcake ideas! you are so creative!

@hannahandkeegan I think a mini ice cream cone is a great idea!!! it would actually make a perfect shaped tree!!!

[KirstyBandicoot1]

OMG Christmas is almost near again, Its gone so quick :D I'm soo excited!

Awesome vid btw ^^

[aquagirl2002]

i have the same thing! =D

[juliafredrika]

you forgot the intro :( hahaah 

[25kime]

great cupcake xD

[quesorocks789]

hey, i honestly think you're using too much frosting :/ instead, i wold prefer using an ice cream cone for the tree and then cover it. What do you think. PLEASE write back :D

[yoyomax12]

@quesorocks789 You can do what you like with this.

[zinevah]

@quesorocks789 Actually, using the cut out piece of cake takes away the strength of the amount of frosting, I'm not big on a lot of frosting but it was balanced by using the cake to make it not too rich.

[robynthecrow]

i was wondering if you could do lord of the rings cupcakes :D

[vanessaburst7]

do pirate cupcakes! thumbs up so she can see!

[yoyomax12]

@vanessaburst7 I read all my comments, thanks for the suggestion

[marianaluciard]

[hannahandkeegan]

[thepandagod11]

[hotdogg1998]

@thepandagod11 why not? that would be easy!!

[blushingmarshmallow]

[yoyomax12]

@blushingmarshmallow I get my ideas from a variety of sources, books, magazines and the internet

[pitzot]

[CuppyCakesallday]

[CharlesDingles]

I replaced your tree with a funky upside down tree!

[CupcakeIdeasForYou]

Now, that's what it call technique. Great idea! Thanks for this video. I love the finished products.

[yoyomax12]

@CupcakeIdeasForYou Thanks for you kind comments!

[0126225807]

excuse me umm.....my tree always drop or topple down so it wont stay still what should i do.......=____='

[yoyomax12]

@0126225807 Could be that the icing you are using isn't stiff enough? Or that whatever you are using under the icing isn't stable?

[0126225807]

@yoyomax12 Yesterday Last Time I Make This And I Give Up On Making This = =

[kgaray23]

I made these for my familys Christmas party and everyone LOVED them! Thank you so much for this video =]

[yoyomax12]

@kgaray23 Thanks for letting me know you tried these! Great!

[Squidwardedits]

can I make a porcupine the same way you made the leaves on the christmas tree? Also, do you know how to make a frog?

[yoyomax12]

@Squidwardedits You can use this technique to make fur or quills for sure.

A frog? Hmm.. I'm not sure. Try a google image search for "frog cupcake" and see what you can find.

[iHeartAnimeLove]

you can sprinkle powdered sugar for snow :)

[yoyomax12]

@iHeartAnimeLove Excellent idea!

[barkylily]

how early do you make your cupcakes before you serve them?

[yoyomax12]

@barkylily It depends on what you put inside them. If you use icing you could easily make them a day ahead. If you use cool whip inside them they should be made and served within a couple of hours.

[brownsugar2407]

love this video!:)

[yoyomax12]

@brownsugar2407 Thank- you!

[bubblewrap64]

i love watching you cup cake decorating videos there amazing i was i was as creative and talented as you :)

[yoyomax12]

@bubblewrap64 Thanks much, but I get most of my ideas from others I have found online, so I'm not that creative. :)

[brownsugar2407]

instead of putting the donut can we put a marshmellow?!?:)

[yoyomax12]

@brownsugar2407 I think a marshmallow would work.

[mschick123456789]

where do you get all of these ideas from,,,,,,,,,by the way i am your #1 fann! ((:

[yoyomax12]

@mschick123456789 Thank you for being a fan! I appreciate it.

Most of the ideas come from books and online. This one (tree) was a combination of a book and my head.

[nomesy81]

@yoyomax12 .. lol.. guess it's an Aussie thing :) .. lol.. didn't even think of other meanings.. lol.. yes i can't wait to try my hand at this .. think i will practice on the weekend.. love your channel.. keep pumping out goodies :)

[alex356hgh]

i luv it but my parents would be all its 2 sweet 2 much icing but i luv ur cupcake

[yoyomax12]

@alex356hgh There is a lot of icing on this one!

[sweetsugarpumpkin]

@yoyomax12 i think she means they won't make them feel too sick, like when you eat loads of chocolate you feel sick, so some people call food sickly

[nomesy81]

i was thinking of making these for my workmates.. they can each get a 'tree' along with a few other other baked goods.. if they only get one it won't be too sickly..

[The9jagirl]

wow....you are talented

[yoyomax12]

@The9jagirl Thanks!

[yoyomax12]

@thesexylady674 I only make one or two at a time usually and my hubby and son usually take care of them for me.

[yoyomax12]

@bluegreencolor Thank-you! :)

[Travelfun4ever]

mine look awful they look like bushes lol

[yoyomax12]

@Travelfun4ever Christmas bushes are okay! lol

[xNeonSneakersx]

What if I used a marshmellow and minni marshmello on the cupcakes?

[yoyomax12]

@xNeonSneakersx That would be fine!

[cultclassicnerd]

Love it :)

[yoyomax12]

@cultclassicnerd Thanks!

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

@mischief13 I'm sure there is a website that carried them, they are delicious though! In the town my parents live in, there is a store on the town square that has them. I had to force myself not to devour all of the samples lol!

[popparoc46]

Oh, Tammy - I thought the thing you used to put in the little hole was a small boiled potato. My eyebrows went up into my hair line! A timbit was a perfect idea. It is beautiful. - roc

[yoyomax12]

@popparoc46 Thank-you dear Roc. :)

lol @ the potato

[Travelfun4ever]

I think ill use a Ferrero Roche instead of donut

[yoyomax12]

@Travelfun4ever That would be perfect (and yummy)

[angelgirl2001]

That is so cute.

[yoyomax12]

@angelgirl2001 Thanks Jennifer.

[rahrahcool]

OMG that is so cute! I love the Christmas ornaments ^^

[yoyomax12]

@rahrahcool Thanks!

[FredPherd]

i love how you can find ways to cut the plastic to improvise as a leaf tip

[yoyomax12]

@FredPherd I actually found the idea in a book, but thanks anyway, it is a quick and easy method

[MissyNizzy]

that's so genius. and cute!

[yoyomax12]
