How to Make Candy Holly for Christmas Cupcakes
Before I got started crafting my cupcake toppers, I grabbed a piece of parchment paper to work on. Wax paper would work well too, to keep the sometimes sticky candy from sticking to your table.
I found watermelon flavored Airheads perfect for crafting holly leaves for atop my Christmas cupcakes. I used a small holly leaf shaped cookie cutter to cut the green bars of candy into holly shapes. Here’s a trick: rub the bar of candy between your hands for a few seconds before removing it from the package so it’s softer and easier to cut and mold.
Once I had my holly leaves cut out, I just used the edge of the cookie cutter to make leave vein marks on each leaf. Holly leaves DONE! Easy peasy.
And red Airheads bites make perfect holly berries. But if you can’t find the bites, you could also soften a red Airheads bar in the microwave for a few seconds, and roll it into small berries.
Can I tell you a secret? I added my Airheads-crafted holly toppers to pretty store-bought cupcakes! I had more fun crafting the cute toppers than I would have baking the cupcakes anyway. The hardest part of making my Christmas cupcakes? Keeping the kids from eating my Airheads before I was done crafting with them!
