Christmas Tree Cupcakes adapted from Martha Stewart

Photobucket


Cook Like a Star Martha Stewart December 2012.


My sis of http://i-lostinausten.blogspot.nl  asked me if I want to bake like a star? Yeah! Why not? If I know how to.
Bake Like a Star as informed by sis was an idea from Zoe of http://bakeforhappykids.blogspot.com.au collaborating with Baby Sumo of Eat your heart out and Riceball of Riceball Eats


I have always like to be Martha. So knowledgeable, elegant and calm, her kitchen and art & craft space  ever so tidy as oppose to mine and  like her I love gardening too. If I ever clicked on to http://www.marthastewart.com/food I always ended spending hours there admiring everything from  food, homes, gardens, pets and even weddings ( although I am way over weddings)






So I can't just say no to this chance to pretend I am Martha by joining in the fun baking like Martha. 




Yes, I saw this at Martha Stewart's Facebook and like a stalker I bookmarked this recipe and the step-by-step on how to bake this Christmas cupcakes. It is a good thing.


Luck was really on my side after piping this very first tree , it began to snow! Can't help but place this cupcake to chill the frosting outside on the picnic table.





 This will make a great table centre piece before eating it up.

Look I see many stars cooking like a star.

  2. Wow! I really envy the scenes of your snowy Christmas especially with your very pretty Christmas tree cupcakes.

    It is hot here in Melbourne! Our Christmas is a little different from everybody else... our celebration table is filled with BBQ food, salad, cherries, pavlovas, trifles or ice cream.
