Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix Pillsbury - prepared using cupcake directions (we used Funfetti)
- 1 container frosting (we used Funfetti)
- 8 ounces whipped topping or fruit filling
Instructions
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions using the "cupcake" directions (should make 18-24 cupcakes).
- Scoop frosting into a medium-sized bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix on high-speed until frosting amount seems to double (you are whipping air into it to make it lighter and fluffier). Don't whip too long or it will flatten again.
- When the cupcakes have cooled, cut a cone shape out of the top of the cupcake by placing the knife at an angle into the cupcake top and cutting a circle, leaving the tip of the knife at the center of the cupcake.
- Remove the cut-out "cone" from the center of the cupcake and fill the hole with whipped cream (you can also use pudding, jam, berries, pie filling or frosting.. my kids wanted the whipped cream so that is what we went with).
- Place the cone back on the cupcake over the filling with the flat side DOWN.. so it looks like your cupcake is wearing a party hat.
- Place your whipped frosting in a piping bag (or you can use a Ziplock bag with a corner snipped off), and pipe frosting around the cone and work upwards until the cone is covered.
- Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
