Today is DD’s eleventh birthday. We began by making cupcakes this morning before she left for school.
She wants ice cream cone cupcakes for the sleepover with her friends this evening. I made cake batter using the directions on a white cake box mix, divided the batter into three parts, and colored the batter green, pink, and blue. We filled the cones about 2/3 full. Setting the cones in a mini muffin tin helped hold them upright.
After baking, the cones were top heavy and some of them fell over as I pulled them from the oven. The frosting will cover any flaws. If I make these again, I will try wedging the cones into the muffin tins with aluminum foil.
I used buttercream frosting to ice the cupcakes.
I think she’ll like them. 🙂

OMG I love this idea….TFS
How did you transport these to school? I’m thinking of doing this for DD5. Thanks!
Never mind I just realized you didn’t send them to school – too messy am thinking.
No, didn’t take them to school. The girls are enjoying them right now at the sleepover. 🙂
You’d have to make something with holes in it to transport them. They are a bit top heavy and fall over easily. Very cute, but not very practical.

OOOO YUM! I am totally drooling over here! They look so GOOD!
what a wonderful idea although my daughter is a bit old for those—maybe not!
They came out SO cute! I haven’t seen cuter ones! How did you get the dairy ice cream effect with frosting?!
Gooseberrypatch.com has a special pan to cook these in which keeps them upright as they fill and cook. I think I’m going to invest in one! I think it is under “cake cone” or something like that!
Here’s the cone cake pan from Gooseberry Patch. It would be just the thing for keeping these treats upright.

And here are directions for making one from a cake box.

I used Wilton tip #199 to make the “ice cream” frosting. Easy! 🙂
