Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with cupcake liners. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using the water, oil, and eggs. (Mix will make 22 cupcakes.)
2
Bake cupcakes 20–22 min., until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 min., then remove from pan to finish cooling.
3
To a large bowl, add vanilla frosting. Stir in green food coloring, a couple drops at a time, until desired color is achieved. Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Arrange cupcakes on the cake board or serving platter into a wreath shape, with a larger outer circle and smaller inner circle.
4
Starting from the center of each cupcake, pipe large flat swirls of frosting into a rose pattern, overlapping the frosting between the cupcakes. If needed, pipe small stars over any gaps of frosting to make a full wreath. Tie red ribbon as a bow and arrange at bottom of wreath. Decorate cupcake wreath with the holiday sprinkles, candy canes, and other candy as desired.
