Davis' End of Year Party is tomorrow and I, of course, signed up for cupcakes. Yes, I could run out and pick up a couple of already prepared containers from Publix or Walmart but where's the fun in that???? And I love baking! So I looked for cute ideas for a kids party and found Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. Super simple and too cute! The problem was going to be how to transport the cupcakes without them tipping over. I took a cereal box, traced the bottom of the ice cream cone and cut holes in the box for the cones to sit without falling. I let Davis put the sprinkles on top and TA DA!!!!!! Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!
Those are adorable! Did you actually bake them in the cones?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, you just wrap the base of the cone in foil then fill them half-way. Use a batter with 3 eggs so they don't rise too much or are too heavy. Then just place them in muffin pans and bake for 25 mins on 350*. I piped the frosting. I like the Duncan Hines homestyle. I used whipped frosting for the white and it wasn't thick enough to stand well.
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon -- Just read your blog from start to finish and loved it! Good to see you're doing well. My brother is a triathalon competitor and really loves it. He's hoping to qualify for the Boston Marathon this year. Best of luck with your training -- and baking! :) Anne Payne
