Fun and Delicious Cupcake Cones

cupcake cones I recently made cupcake cones–cupcakes baked inside of ice cream cones–a delicious and fun dessert that is sure to go over extremely well with your kids and even if your husband! Mine ate a handful of them in a single day.

You will need:

  • 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 30 to 36 flat-bottom ice cream cones
  • 1 container (12 oz) whipped frosting (any flavor)
  • Assorted candies and decorations, if desired

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Make cake batter as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Fill 12 cones about half full of batter. Stand cones in muffin pan. Refrigerate any leftover batter until ready to fill and bake remaining cones.
2. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick carefully inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Frost with frosting and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Fill cones about half full. Makes 36 to 40 cupcake cones.

  • I have actually tried this, and it is so much easier than using regular paper cupcake holders — and obviously it tastes better too!

  • yum these sound great I think I will go home and make some tonight for the office

  • wow what a clever idea, I have to try this. The cup cake craze has really taken over with cup cake decorating taking over regular cake making. I know in the UK I can get hold of ice cream wafer shells – I will have to see if I can bake a cake in one of these, or whether or not it would just spill out when it rises in the oven!

    Great idea

  • I love cake decorating, and I have just finished a 4 week course in making flowers. I agree with your 7 tips because that is what I learned. Thanks for the good advice Cake Decorating Melisa Bailey

    Cone cupcakes would be a hit for any occasion. Another variation is a cake made of cupcakes. Make cupcakes and then place together in the shape you desire and then ice as though it were a sheet cake. Lot of fun to make and was a great hit at the party. Love your blog and can’t wait to try ice cream cone cupcakes.

  • You could combine these great cones with cake pops which are made to look like ice lollies!

  • Home-made cupcakes happen to be far healthier for you in addition to taste much better than the ones from the shops. They are really a whole lot cheaper!
