List this year? Sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, fudge maybe? Well, if you’re thinking about giving cake pops a go for the first time, you are in luck because I’m sharing these sweet tree treats from my book, Cake Pops Holidays.
It’s been a few years since this one came out, but it’s a great go-to for the cutest holiday cake pops. The hardcover may be more difficult to come by these days, but the kindle version is still a great way to learn and get inspired.
You’ll need vanilla candy wafers for dipping to start. Of course you can also use green… or pink would be really cute, too. These pops are great because you only need one color of candy coating to get the job done.
Christmas Tree Cake Pops
Unlike decorating a real tree, the star goes on first with these. After you dip the trees in melted vanilla coating, insert a jumbo yellow confetti star on top. When the coating sets, it will hold the star in place.
Multicolor sugar pearls can be used for tiny little ornaments. Cake pop designs are all about the proportions and these are the perfect tiny tree size decoration.
Oh my goodness!!! These are totally my favorite part of this design. You can use Starburst or Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews to represent little wrapped gifts nestled under the tree. Just attach them with a bit of melted candy coating to hold them in place. I can’t stand the cuteness!
How To Turn Little Debbie's Christmas Tree Cakes Into Holiday Cake Pops
And with just about any cake pop design, toothpicks are my favorite tool and will be your very best friend. Especially for these.
Cake Pops Holidays by is still available in hardcover from Chronicle Books if you’d like to have a copy to hold. It’s pretty cute if I do say so myself and makes a great stocking stuffer for your favorite baker.After making Dorothy the Dinosaur cake pops for my youngest daughter’s birthday, I had some green candy melts and some cake left over. I froze the cake and decided to male some cake pops for Christmas. Having green candy melts, making Christmas trees was the easiest thing that came to mind.
I had already seen them in Bakeralla’s book, so they were easy to make. I also had almost all the “extra decorations” to make the tree ornaments (I used rainbow chocolate chips). The only thing I did not have were the jumbo star sprinkles… so I used jumbo hearts and made some yellow stars with fondant.
Easy Peasy Diy Christmas Tree Cake Toppers
NOTE: I have used Wilton’s green candy melts for this. In the past, I have also used Wilton’s pink candy melts and both times, I had a hard time working with them. The candy melts are way too thick! I have also used CK’s white candy melts before and liked it so much more! I’ll have to keep experimenting!
Melt it following the instructions on the package (I microwave them as I find it easier). Also make sure you use a deep enough plastic container to melt the candy so you can dip the candy pops in it.
When ready, take all the cones out of the freezer and put them in the fridge. Keep only 5 on the benchtop and start working with these. Take a pop stick and dip it in the candy melt (2 cm/1 inch). Insert it in the cake pop no more than halfway through and keep it aside. Do that for all 5 pops. Then take the first cake pop and dip it into the candy melt. Make sure it is fully submerged and that the candy coats the stick. Then pull it out in one movement and remove the excess coating by tapping your left hand on your right wrist and turning the pop at the same time so that the coating gets evenly distributed.

Add the star or heart on the top of the tree and put the pops vertically on a piece of Styrofoam to dry.
