How to Make Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Who doesn't love ice cream cones? Well, with this special treat, you can combine cake and ice cream cones together. This works well for a young child's birthday party. They are easy to make and even easier to eat.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Box of your favorite cake mix
• 24 cake cones (yellow, flat bottom)
• Your favorite frosting
• Sprinkles or other embellishments
• 2- 6-holder cupcake tins
• Aluminum foil

1. Prepare boxed cake mix as instructed.

2. Line each cupcake holder tin with aluminum foil. Wad up the foil so it will cushion the cone when it it is placed inside.

3. Fill each cake cone half-way with batter.

4. Bake according to directions, but cut the cooking time by one-third (instead of 15 minutes, for example, cook it for 10 minutes).

5. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the batter. If it comes out clean, it is cooked all the way through.

6. Remove from oven and allow to cool (half-hour to an hour).

7. Top with frosting and your favorite sprinkles.

Tips & Warnings

• If you transporting these cones, do not frost until you arrive at your destination.
• Allow the cones to stand in the cupcake tins until it is time to serve.
