Ingredients:

Fresh Rosemary Sprigs

Sugared Cranberries or Pomegranate Seeds

Powdered Sugar

Supplies:

Medium Foam Tree Form

Plastic Wrap

Toothpicks

Cake Board

 

Directions:

  1. Unwrap each Mini Muffin pack and set aside.
  2. Wrap your foam tree form with plastic wrap.
  3. Carefully begin building your tree by inserting a toothpick into the foam tree and placing a muffin on the toothpick.
  4. Continue to work around the tree, carefully adding toothpicks and muffins.
  5. Once built, add sprigs of fresh rosemary and cranberries in between the muffins.
  6. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
  7. Enjoy!

Creation Tip:

For a larger tree, like shown in the image, we recommend using a variety of muffin flavors and using 12 boxes of muffins. If your muffins have difficulty staying on the toothpick, double up on the toothpicks and place your muffins tightly around the tree as you build it.
