Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  3. Add the green food coloring to the batter and mix until the color is evenly distributed. Feel free to adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.

  4. Pour the green batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

  5. Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before proceeding to the next step.

  7. Assembling the Christmas Tree Cakes: Using a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter or a knife, cut out Christmas tree shapes from the cooled cake. Place the cut-out cake trees on a wire rack with parchment paper underneath to catch any drips. Microwave the white frosting in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until it reaches a pourable consistency. Pour the melted white frosting over the Christmas tree cakes, allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate the tree cakes with rainbow nonpareils or sprinkles to create a festive look. Place a miniature chocolate chip at the top of each tree cake to resemble a star. For the final touch, insert a toothpick into the bottom of each tree cake to act as a trunk.

They are perfect for adding a touch of holiday cheer to any gathering or as a thoughtful homemade gift for friends and family.
