Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
Description
Prepared cake batter is spooned into standard-sized ice cream cones placed securely upright in a mini muffin tray to prevent tipping. The cones are filled about two-thirds full to allow room for rising and baked at a moderate oven temperature until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once cooled, the cupcakes are decorated with whipped cream or frosting applied to mimic ice cream, then garnished with sprinkles for color and texture contrast. This technique creates a fun twist on classic cupcakes by combining cake and cones.
Because cone sizes vary, the number of cupcakes produced may range from 22 to 24. To keep cones stable during decorating and display, the recipe suggests using muffin pans or cradling cones with aluminum foil to prevent tipping.
Avoid cones with missing tops to prevent batter leaking during baking. Whipping frosting lightly adds air for a more ice cream-like texture on topping.

Notes

- Use a mini muffin pan to hold cones upright during baking and decorating.
