These gorgeous Christmas wreath cupcakes are guaranteed to light up any holiday party!
Christmas Wreath Cupcakes
A baker friend of mine made these Christmas wreath cupcakes recently — I took one look and knew I had to share them with you all! (With permission of course!)
These Christmas wreath cupcakes are super festive – I just love the bright colors and how much they really look like a holiday wreath! They’re also far less time-consuming than you’d expect, if you use the ready-made cupcake trick!
If you like to bake your own cupcakes, I included one of our favorite gluten free cupcakes recipes below in the shopping list. Or you can use a box mix to save time!

How to make Christmas Wreath Cupcakes
Cover each cupcake with a generous layer of white frosting.
Scoop the green frosting into a piping bag with a star tip, and pipe little dots/stars into the shape of a big circle, like a wreath.
Place 4-5 red hots into the green frosting, at even distances apart around on the wreath.
To make each bow:
- Cut a 3-inch piece of fruit by the foot and split it down the middle so you have 2- 3 inch pieces.
- Take one of the pieces and fold each end to the center to look like a bow.
- Cut an inch off the other piece and fold over 3 times to a small thick square and stick on top the middle of your bow.
- Cut rest of that piece in half and cut an angle off one end of each one.
- Place these two pieces on the bottom of your bow to look like the bow pieces hanging down.
Gently press a bow into the frosting on each cupcake, so it will stay in place.
