Almond Flour Cone Trees

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl simply add Blue Diamond Chocolate Cake Mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Whisk together until smooth.
3. Using a medium sized cookie scoop fill the lined cupcake pan. Bake the cupcakes for 16 minutes.
4. While the cupcakes are in the oven, you can prepare the almond cone batter to make the adorable tree toppers. First, in a bowl add 1 egg white and whisk until soft peaks form. Then add sugar slowly, continue to whisk until glossy.
5. Next, add Blue Diamond Almond Flour, vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Fold ingredients together until smooth with no clumps.
6. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, add a spoonful of cone batter. Use the back of the spoon to create a 2 ½ wide circle. Repeat this process 12 more times. Bake the circles for 6 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit.
7. While the cupcakes cool you can make the buttercream! In a bowl whisk softened unsalted butter until it becomes a whipped consistency. Add powdered sugar and milk. Continue to mix until frosting becomes light and fluffy.
8. Add ¼ of frosting to a separate bowl and mix green food coloring to it. Fill green frosting in a piping bag fit with a small star tip and the rest of the white frosting with a medium sized round tip. Set aside.
9. Now that the almond cones are out of the oven, quickly and carefully roll the dough around a large piping tip to create a cone shape. Hold the cone together until set and repeat the process to make 12 cones.
10. Pipe white frosting onto each cupcake and top with a cone. Now take your green frosting and cover the cone with little stars. Once covered the cone will look like a little tree .You can top your tree with an edible pearl sprinkle and dust with powdered sugar to look like snow. Enjoy these delicious Blue Diamond cone tree cupcakes!
