Cupcake Cone Craze
My twin daughters, Madeline and Riley, turned two last week and to celebrate we had a big party with family and friends at our home. There were almost 40 adults and 9 children to feed and keep entertained and like at most parties, the dessert was a centrepiece.
Originally I had this great, elaborate plan to bake a cake and decorate it with Cookie Pops made to look like Sesame Street characters. Well, that didn’t work out so I turned to my back-up plan—Cupcake Cones!
These fun little desserts are perfect for kids because there is very little mess, and they look super cute.
Here’s how to make them:
Cupcake Cones
Makes 36
You’ll Need
- Flat-bottomed ice cream cones (I used 2 boxes for one batch)
- Your favourite cupcake batter recipe—I am not ashamed to admit that mine came out of a box!
- Icing
- Muffin pan
- Sprinkles to decorate your Cupcake Cones
Prep and Cook
- Make your cupcake batter according to the recipe.
- Place one flat-bottomed ice cream cone in each section of the muffin pan.
- Fill the ice cream cone with cupcake batter (about 2/3 full).
- Bake according to recipe instructions (mine were 25 minutes at 350 F).
- Cool completely (I left mine overnight).
- Ice and decorate.
- Eat!
Both the kids and the adults loved them and wondered how I got the cupcake into the cone! This is a fun dessert that is perfect for a birthday party, or as a special treat.
