Cupcake Ice Cream Cones – How To & Recipe

Ingredients:

wafer ice cream cones with flat bottoms (12)
1 box cake mix (1)
1 can prepared vanilla frosting (1)
food colouring
sprinkles, optional

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Prepare cake batter according to directions.
• Fill ice cream cones three-quarters full with cake batter.
• Set cones on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin and place in oven. Careful – do not let the cones tip over.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes until done (insert a toothpick in the cake to test, when it comes out clean they’re done).
• Tint frosting with food colouring to make colours that look like ice cream (pink, brown, mint green). Can do in separate bowls to make a variety of colours.
• Spoon icing into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Swirl frosting onto the cone to make it look like soft-serve ice cream. Or frost with a butter knife for a scooped ice cream look.
• Add sprinkles (optional).

Yield: Makes 12 cones
