Procedure to Follow in Making the Wreath Cupcakes
Well, the preparations of the wreath cupcakes require two sets. First, you need to bake the cupcakes. You just need to mix all the ingredients prepared for the cupcakes and baked them for 15 to 18 minutes.
After that, as you allow the cupcakes to cool, proceed to the process of making the frosting. Initially, you need to incorporate well the butter and the sugar. Also, add the heavy cream or coffee creamer to loosen it up. The icing should not be runny, instead, it should be stiff but smooth. Next, add the coloring, mix well and place it in the piping bag.
After completing all those steps, the magic of decorating begins here. You are now ready to make your Holiday Wreath Cupcakes. Just arrange the cupcakes in circles and decorate them using the icing. Please do not forget to make the bow.

Final Notes
As the baker, I have a few final notes for you.
First, make sure not to squeeze the frosting too hard. If you do this, you will run out of frosting.
Then, if you have to make more frosting your greens will not match up because the first batch of icing will have dried. Make sure to estimate carefully the amount of frosting needed.
Lastly, if your cupcakes move, add a small amount of icing to the bottom to hold them in place.
Complete your holiday and make it merrier with these Holiday Wreath Cupcakes.
