3.Reserve four white chocolate Melts. Melt remaining white chocolate. Decorate wall of aquarium with some spearmint leaves to make trees. Secure with melted chocolate.
4.Spread frosting over cupcake. Decorate with mini M&M’s.
5.Melt the dark chocolate. Using picture as a guide, pipe chocolate onto baking paper to make a tall and a short tree. Sprinkle tops of trees with crushed lollipops. Allow to set.
6.Trim top off milk bottles. Secure a reserved white chocolate melt on top of each bottle to make toadstools.
7.Gently push trees into cake crumbs. Using picture as a guide, position toadstools, cupcake, remaining lollies, and decorations.
