I\u2019ve made all sorts of Holiday-inspired bakes over the years, from towering Christmas tree cakes to gingerbread house inspired projects and everything in between. But this year, as shopping centers everywhere string their Holiday lights and hang their festive wreaths, it dawned on me that wreath designs would make the perfect cupcake toppers for the season. I took to the drawing board (literally, that\u2019s how all of my ideas start!) and got to work piping these cute little wreath cupcakes and basically squealed with delight seeing the idea come to life. They\u2019re so festive!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried three different wreath designs for this spread and ended up loving all of them so much that I\u2019m gonna show you how to make the whole assortment. The variety of textures and colors look so great together that it\u2019s worth making all three designs! If you\u2019d rather stick to one or two designs instead of all three, that is totally up to you. Whatever type of wreath cupcake assortment you create, they\u2019re guaranteed to add some merriment to your holiday dessert table.<\/span><\/p>\n

BUTTERCREAM PIPING NECESSITIES<\/strong><\/h6>\n

This project involves three different shades of green buttercream and a handful of my favorite piping tips. Making sure you have couplers on hand is going to make your life a whole lot easier with this one. You can simply insert a coupler into each piping bag, fill each one with a different shade of green buttercream, then swap out your piping tips as you go along. The coupler sets will essentially save you from having to fit and fill more piping bags than you need (better for the environment <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> your sanity)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never worked with couplers before, they\u2019re really simple to use. Just insert the bigger piece into your piping bag, just like you would with a piping tip. Then, fit your desired piping tip to the end of the coupler on the outside of the bag and screw the ring portion of the coupler over the top. When you\u2019re ready for a different piping tip, just unscrew the ring, place the next piping tip on, and screw it back in. So easy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I prefer American Buttercream for everything I do, these wreath cupcakes will work with any buttercream that\u2019s pipeable. So if you have a favorite style of buttercream that\u2019s easy to color and pipe with, feel free to use it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
