Ingredients
- 24 ice cream cones (cake cones)
- 1 box cake mix (flavor of choice) + water, oil and eggs noted on box instructions
- 3-4 cups frosting store-bought or homemade (see below)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place ice cream cones in the holes of a mini muffin tin. (Or put them closely together in a 9x13 baking pan). If the cones aren't setting straight up, see if there's excess crumbs on the bottom that needs scraped off first!
- In a large bowl, mix the cake batter according to the box instructions and fill the cones about 2/3 full.
- Bake the filled cones 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick pressed into the center of the cupcake comes out clean; let cool completely.
- Use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes (or spread on with a butter knife) and top with sprinkles.
Notes
Homemade Frosting Options
Whipped Cream Frosting - Super light and fluffy, this one is a favorite of ours! It won't pipe as well as buttercream, but could certainly be spread on top with a knife.
Buttercream Frosting - Always a great option! Rich and creamy and perfectly pipeable!
Glossy Chocolate Frosting - My favorite chocolate frosting is this one, the one I always use to finish the Matilda Chocolate Cake!
