I love serving pretty cupcakes for parties, but don't always have time to bake them myself. Instead, I like to dress up store-bought cupcakes with homemade touches like these almost too pretty to eat Marbled Chocolate Christmas Tree Cupcake Toppers. They're super simple to make and your guests won't believe you didn't spend hours baking!

Place your cookie cutter on top of a small piece of parchment paper, and scoop enough white chocolate candy to fill the bottom portion of the cookie cutter. Next, drizzle a small amount of the black chocolate candy on top of the white chocolate.

Place the cookie cutter in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened, then gently press to release the chocolates. If you break them, you can easily "glue" them back together using a bit of the melted chocolate.
