Make Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes for a Kids Birthday Party

Special cupcakes for your little ones special occasion. These are fun to make, and fun to eat for kids.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A box of cake mix
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Cupcake pan
  • Sprinkles (Your choice of color)
  • Ice Cream Cones (These also can come in different colors to add to the fun.
  • Any red candy to put on the top as a cherry (optional)
  • White whipped Icing. (Whipped will make it easier to spread)
  1. Step 1

    Prepare the cake mix according to the package. Preheat the oven to the temperature it says on the back of the box for cupcakes.

  2. Step 2

    Take aluminum foil and use it to secure the ice cream cones into the cupcake pan.

  3. Step 3

    Set up all the cones into the cupcake pan and get them ready to pour the cake mix into them. Fill them up to about a 1/4" from the top of the cone. Fill them all up.

  4. Step 4

    Put it into the oven that should already be preheated. Check the cupcakes 5 to 7 minutes earlier then the box says it will take for cupcakes to bake. You can use a toothpick or a knife, stick it into the cupcake and if it comes out clean, they are done.

  5. Step 5

    When they are done let them cool for at least 25-30 minutes. Leave yourself enough time to let them really cool.

  6. Step 6

    Once cooled it's time to decorate them! Generously spread the icing on. Kids love icing, so be generous. Then sprinkle your choice of colored sprinkles on them. You can use a red candy as the "cherry" if you want to put it at the top.

Tips & Warnings
  • Spread the icing generously.
  • Depending on the size of the cones you use, they may not take as long as normal.
