Cupcakes Ingredients:

If looking for homemade cupcakes options here are some that you will enjoy: Fluffy Lemon Cupcakes, Softest Orange Cupcakes, or these another favorite- Strawberry ones! - A batch of homemade or store bought frosting: For homemade frosting ideas, check out my Chocolate Fudge Frosting, or this Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. Even this Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting would be so good here!
- Ice cream Cones
- Sprinkles of choice (optional but pretty)
How do you make ice cream cone cupcakes:
- If using a box mix, simply follow instructions on the package to prepare batter. You may select the flavor of your choice. I went with chocolate this time!
- Line your cupcake pans with tin foil before placing cones to prevent the cones from burning.
- Then pour cupcake batter in to cones as you would in to liners and bake them. Don't worry the cones won't burn.
- Frost on cooled cupcakes.
- Top with sprinkles.
How do you store cupcake cones?
I suggest storing them without covering. This will prevent them from turning soggy.
How can I prevent cupcake cones from getting soggy?
You can do 2 things to prevent your ice cream cone cupcakes from turning soggy:
- Don't bake them way ahead of time. May be bake these just 1-2 hours before serving.
- Or you can poke a few holes in the bottom of each baked cone cupcakes to allow steam and air to pass. This way the cones won't turn soggy!
