Title: ice cream cupcakes
Post by: bugsmom on March 21, 2006, 09:24:27 PM
for all the parents with little ones- instead of a boring cake  you have to decorate they these- so much fun- less messy and kids think your cool")
You will need:

1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix

Frosting

Sprinkles or other decorations of your choice

Directions:

Prepare cake mix batter according to directions, or make any standard cake recipe batter (i.e. white, chocolate, etc.)

Place flat-bottomed ice cream cones in the cups of a regular muffin pan.Pour enough batter into each cone to fill from 1/2 to 2/3 full.

Bake at time and temperature as recommended for cupcakes. After they have cooled, frost with your favorite canned or home-prepared frosting recipe.

Decorate with sprinkles or other decorations of your choice

I've made these 2x in the last couple weeks.  Once was for a bake sale for my grand daughters honor society club at her high school.  She took 36 of these in & they all sold!  Just proves that older kids like em as much as the little 1's.   :)

They sounds so good! 
But one question, how do you get the darn things to stay standing up in the muffin tin.  I know you use flat bottom cones but what about carrying them to the oven? I've had dreams of making these and they all tip over  all over the place so I just ate the icing and said to heck with it.   :))

If you use flat bottom cones, they will sit nicely in the muffin pan. It wont be a tight fit, a little wiggle - but as long as you walk normally ( No drinking lots first) they'll do fine.  I do think theyre a little tough to transport iced - so when I have made them for kindergarten classes, I frost them in the classroom.
