Cupcakes and Ice Cream Cones



A novel way to prepare cupcakes, and a treat sure to delight the kids! Ice cream cone cupcakes are great at parties especially to celebrate a birthday or for all seasons! As a dessert, this recipe is a combination of two most-loved sweets. For these simple dessert recipes, the batter is created with the use of all purpose flour, vanilla, egg, milk, soft butter, salt, baking powder, and sugar. The batter is then scooped onto cone cups used for ice cream before being baked in an oven. This results in making an exciting and cool treat to the kids and those who have a sweet tooth. 

The cupcakes can be made colorful by dressing them up with some sprinkles, chocolate shavings and icing. Ice cream cones that have a flat bottom are recommended for use in this recipe so they don’t fall over the baking sheet since they are perfectly stable. Making cupcakes can actually be interesting and fun since you are free to decorate them in a lot of ways. You can prepare one complete batch where all cupcakes are different with the help of easy cooking videos. After the cupcakes are frosted, they can then be decorated with mini cookies, mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, dried fruits, chopped nuts, granola, crushed hard candies, animal crackers, graham cracker crumbs, breakfast cereal, chocolate shvings and candy sprinkles. You may also draw or paint on the cupcakes as a decoration. Ice cream cone cups come in different flavors that you may also use for the cupcakes to give them a touch of variety.
