How to pipe a buttercream Christmas tree! Easy Beginner Christmas piping tutorial

Follow along with today’s easy buttercream piping tutorial and learn how to pipe a Christmas tree! These adorable piped Christmas trees are perfect for decorating Christmas cakes and cupcakes! For this easy buttercream Christmas tree piping tutorial you will need a medium consistency green buttercream. I’m using Kelly green, and you can find the colouring instructions down with the buttercream recipe. You will also need a piping bag fitted with a small coupler and a # 352 (leaf) tip, or alternately two piping bags, one fitted with a large round tip and the other with the 352 tip. I recommend using a piping nail and parchment paper, and then chilling these buttercream Christmas trees before using them to decorate your Christmas cakes and cupcakes, but they can also be piped directly onto your holiday cakes and festive cupcakes! How to pipe a buttercream Christmas tree: To begin, attach a square of parchment to a piping/flower nail. Remove your coupler or use a large round tip to pipe a mound in the center of your parchment that is approximately 1 inch tall. Reattach your 352 tip, or switch to your second piping bag. To pipe your branches, place your piping tip about one third up the height of the base. With one of the pointed ends facing down and the other facing straight up, apply pressure, pull down slightly, then release pressure and sharply pull away. You want to make sure that this first row of tree branches touch the parchment paper for a nice full look. For the next row move your tip up slightly and we're going to want to pipe these next branches offset in the little gaps between the branches of the first row. You're also going to want to make this row slightly shorter. Next, move up to the top and add another row, making these branches slightly shorter than the pervioud row! Then pipe a small mound up on the top and just add one more layer of branches here. Again, you're going to want to make these ones slightly shorter and again try to pipe them in the gap so that we get a nice full tapered shape for our Christmas tree! To finish off the top hold your tip straight up and down, apply a small amount of pressure and twist. That will give you a nice point at the top of your buttercream Christmas tree! Decorate with sprinkles as desired. Place your finished buttercream Christmas trees into the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up, and then you can transfer them to your christmas tree cupcakes or cake! Buttercream Recipe: (Video:    • Easy American buttercream recipe - perfect...  ) Ingredients 1/2 Cup butter softened to room temperature 113g 2 Cups powdered sugar 200g 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract 4g 1-2 Tablespoons milk 15-30g Directions: In a large bowl if using a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer cream butter on medium low speed for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy and pale in colour. Add 1/2 of the powdered sugar and mix for 2 minutes. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix for another 2 minutes. Your buttercream should be fluffy, pale and thick at this point. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix well. If the buttercream is still too thick/stiff add another tablespoon of milk and continue mixing. You will want a medium consistency buttercream to pipe your flowers with! Add food colouring. For these buttercream Christmas trees I used Wilton gel food colouring in Kelly green.
