Instructions

  • Place 2-3 red ball sprinkles on each cupcake.
  • Place the small leaf decorating tip on the end of the green writing frosting. Carefully pipe two small leaves on either side of the red ball sprinkles on each cupcake.

Notes

Instead of making the holly leaves with red ball sprinkles and frosting, you can use preformed holly berries and leaves like these candy ones or these royal icing ones.
