Whimsical Christmas Tree Cake Pops (in the form of Cake Pops) are guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone&#8217;s face and will be the highlight of the holiday table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest, most whimsical solution uses the Cake Pop base, but we shape it into a cone instead of a ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udf84 Whimsical Christmas Tree Cake Pops (No-Bake)<br>\ud83d\udcdd Ingredients<br><br>Quantity Ingredient Note<br>250 g Cake Base E.g. leftover cocoa sponge cake, muffin, or ground gingerbread\/biscuits.<br>50-80 g Binder Nutella, cream cheese, buttercream or jam.<br>300 g Green Candy Melts\/Chocolate Melts or white chocolate with green food coloring.<br>Decoration Small colored sprinkles<br>Decoration Gold colored sugar pearls or stars For the top of the tree.<br>Decoration Small pretzel pieces For the tree trunk effect (optional).<br>\ud83d\udd2a Preparation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\udf32 The Dough Base (The \u201cPaste\u201d)<br>Crush the base cake\/biscuit into very fine crumbs.<br>Add the binding agent (e.g. Nutella or cream cheese). Knead until you get a homogeneous, well-shaped, but not sticky mass.<br>Shaping: Form the mass into smaller, conical Christmas tree shapes (thick at the bottom, pointed at the top).<br><br><br>Cooling: Place the little cones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will prevent them from falling apart while dipping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udc9a Frosting and Decorating<br>Melt Frosting: Melt the green frosting or green-tinted white chocolate over a pan of boiling water or over low heat.<br>Dip: Hold a frozen cone cookie by the tip and carefully dip it into the melted green frosting. Let the excess drip off.<br><br><br>Trunk (Optional): If you want, immediately, while the frosting is still wet, press a small pretzel piece into the bottom for a tree trunk.<br>Decorating (The Whimsical Part):<br>Place back on the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with colored sugar beads or tiny sprinkles (these will be the decorations).<br>Place a gold or silver sugar star on top of the tree until the frosting sets.<br>Let the frosting set completely and you\u2019re ready to serve your whimsical treats! What a great idea!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want another idea for how to make a whimsical Christmas snowman out of the same mixture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a fantastic, fun idea!
