Tips & Tricks

  • Choose Your Brownie Recipe: Use your favorite store-bought mix or homemade recipe—just be sure the brownies are fully cooled before decorating.
  • Cut Perfect Triangles: Chill the brownies for 20-30 minutes before cutting to make cleaner cuts and reduce crumbs.
  • Easy Piping Hack: If you don’t have a piping bag, cut a small corner off a zip-top storage bag for icing application.
  • Sprinkle Fast: Add sprinkles immediately after icing while it’s still wet to ensure they stick.
  • Don’t Waste the Edges: While the edge pieces aren’t tree-shaped, they’re still delicious! Save them for snacking or crumbling over ice cream.
