Cupcake Ice Cream Cones Recipe

I’m always looking for fun and unique ideas when it comes to party foods for my 6 1/2 year old grand daughter. When I saw this recipe from FamilyFun Magazine, I thought it was super adorable and had to share it with all of you!

These “Faux Cones” look just like sno-cones but are a basic cupcake ice cream cone. I love this twist on the classic cupcake cones and I think they would be super fun to make for a child’s birthday party or just because you want to give them a fun treat to enjoy. Cute!

ULTIMATE FAUX CONES RECIPE

The “snow cone” cupcakes are the perfect foil for frosty temps. Make ‘em in secret for a sweet surprise!

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Set ten flat-bottom ice-cream cones upright in a muffin tin, using aluminum foil to keep them in place.

2. Make your favorite boxed cake mix per box instructions. Fill each cone ¾ full with batter. Bake until centers set, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool.

3. Blend 4 cups prepared frosting and 2 cups confectioners’ sugar to make a very stiff icing. Spread it on the cupcakes and shape into a tall mound.

4. Place about ½ pound of rock candy into a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air, and seal. On a protected surface, with a hammer, pound the candy into pieces. Pour the pieces into a bowl, then roll the iced cupcake in them to cover.

5. Wrap the cones with scrapbook paper (use the template at familyfunmag web site) and secure with tape. Enjoy!
