I made cup cakes in ice cream cones for my 5 year old's kindergarten Christmas party tomorrow. I can't wait to see her face in class tomorrow!
Devil's food chocolate cake from scratch.

Poured into cupcake liners and topped with an upside down cone.

The cake rises and fills the cone a bit, sticking to and holding onto the cone.

Then I made a 7 minute frosting. It is VERY light and fluffy. My favorite icing by far! Cream cheese frosting is a distant second. I don't like any other frosting that I know of. Most are to heavy for me.
This an improvised double boiler. It's just a stainless bowl floating in a bigger stainless bowl of boiling water.

It whips up super fluffy! YUM!


I cut holes in and then wrapped a pizza box.

I punched out the holes.

Then I frosted them.


Then I wrapped them in saran wrap to keep the frosting moist.

Dang Paul, those look damn good man!

It IS YUMMY! I do like to bake that recipe and change it up.

That's brilliant! I have a three-year old and am always wanting out of the ordinary stuff to send with him to pre-school when they are having something going on.

What do you think the result of pouring chocolate sauce into the cone before attaching it to the cupcake would be? I'm just trying to think of something to do with the cone so you don't just have plain sugar cone at the end...

Thanks! I'm excited! I was at the bank today. I told the teller I was making cupcakes. She said to put the cones on top. That they would fill and attach. I've seen people put candy inside the cone. Wish I had done something in there. The cone is really just a handle. This is the first time I've ever made cupcakes.

You're welcome! Your daughter is going to love you for this!!!

I mean, I'm sure she does anyway, but...

...You know what I mean.

So, have you tried one yet?

Of course! YUM!!

Can you make some of those sugar free?

Not yet.

Can I go?
They look good.

C'mon!
