  4. Divide the batter between your 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Topping:

  2. Spread some pink icing onto the cupcakes then cover each ice cream cone with icing too. Place the cones upside down onto the cupcakes.
  3. Put the rest of the icing into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle and pipe small 'branches' onto the ice cream cones.
