Recipes From The Kitchen Of A City Raised Mom

Archive for the ‘Cupcakes’ Category

The last couple years I have seen a few different people online make some very CUTE ice cream cone cupcakes. Last year I wanted to make them for my daughter’s birthday but we ended up buying a cake. So when it came to my son’s birthday last week, I thought that this would be my chance to finally get to make them myself.

Okay, so here is the ingredients I used:

• 1 Box of cake mix – I used Pillsbury Funfetti
• Eggs, water and oil (check the back of your cake mix box)
• 24 ice cream cones plain with flat bottom
• 2 cans of Easy Frost frosting (I used white and brown)
• Sprinkles – Your choice

Now lets get to BAKING!!

First you are going to want to preheat your oven to350 unless specified different on your box of cake mix.
Now, mix the cake mix as directed on your box. I started using a whisk but then got out my handy hand mixer.

Place a ice cream cone in each of the spots in your muffin pan.

Pour the mix about 2/3 full if not a little lower. You do NOT want to fill these ice cream cones up to the top or you are going to have a MESS.

Cook about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about 20 minutes or longer.

Get out your frosting and frost in a circular motion. You want to frost your cupcakes in layers making each layer smaller then the one below to make it stack. Make sure you keep your frosting in a cool place. I had mine out on the counter next to the oven and it warmed the frosting inside the can. I ended up putting it in the fridge for about 10 minutes to make frosting the cupcakes easier.

Next add sprinkles to make your cupcakes even cuter!

Eat and enjoy!
