Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top with a knife. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
To prepare the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Add the icing sugar and milk and beat until fluffy. Stir in the green food coloring until you reach the desired shade.
Cut the cooled cake into triangle shapes to resemble trees. Frost each tree with the green frosting. Decorate with the assorted candies and sprinkle with edible glitter.
Serve your Christmas Tree Cakes immediately, or store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
