Cupcake Ice Cream Cones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stand the ice cream cones upright in the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins (or bake them in batches if you only have 1 tin).
• Whisk together the oil and eggs in a bowl. Add the cake mix, vanilla extract and 1 cup water and mix until no lumps remain. Divide the cake batter into 3 bowls. Tint each batter with a different color gel food coloring (pink, purple and green), adding as much as needed until the desired shade is reached.
• Fill the cones with the batter, alternating colors, until halfway full (they expand as they bake). Using a skewer in an up-and-down motion, marble the batter in each cone 2 to 3 times. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, microwave the pink, purple, blue and green melting candy wafers in 4 separate microwave-safe bowls (one color in each bowl) for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating for 5 to 10 seconds at a time, stirring, until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted candy into mermaid tail silicone molds (2- to 3-inch tails), alternating colors. Place in the freezer for 6 to 8 minutes to set. Continue the process until you have enough mermaid tails.
• Spread the cooled cupcakes with the blue frosting. Press a mermaid tail into the center of each cupcake, about 1/4 inch into the frosting.

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat sugar and margarine together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, on high speed until incorporated. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture, alternating with milk and ending with flour mixture, until just incorporated. Spoon batter into each ice cream cone, filling to within 1/2-inch from the top. Set filled cones on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Prepare batter for cupcakes per instructions on the box.
• Pour scant 1/4-cup batter into flat-bottomed ice cream cones so they are a little less than half full, or about half full; if you fill the cones too much, the cakes will not have a nice, round top.
• Place the cones on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool and frost, then decorate with sprinkles as desired.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set the dry mixture aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the oil, vanilla extract, rosewater and food coloring.
• With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry mixture and the milk to the wet mixture in two or three alternating batches and mix until just barely combined. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the sprinkles until they're evenly distributed.
• Arrange the ice cream cones in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Add the batter to a large piping bag and snip a hole at the tip about 1-inch wide (or use a 1-inch tip). Fill the ice cream cones to the inner line of each cone. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For the frosting: Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar. Add the milk, rosewater, vanilla extract and salt and beat to combine.
• For the assembly: Decorate the cupcakes with the frosting of your choice. Or, if you made a double batch of frosting to have enough for the roses, separate the frosting, adding dye if you choose, and place into piping bags fitted with a rose petal tip and a leaf tip. Directly onto the center of the cupcake, pipe one small arch shape with the rose petal tip, then another halfway overlapping the previous petal, continuing until your flower is complete. Using the piping bag with the leaf tip, add leaves. You can also form any other decorations your heart desires (for example, using a star tip for adornments). Add the sprinkles.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
• Make cake batter as directed on box. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup.
• Bake 16 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean (cones may tilt on batter). Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting, and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove center of a 12-inch tube pan and cover pan with a double layer of heavy-duty foil. Use a skewer or paring knife to poke 12 small holes in the foil, 2 1/2 inches apart. Gently place a cone in each hole, pushing it down until only about 1 inch of cone is showing.
• Make cupcakes: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each. Fill each cone with 2 to 3 tablespoons batter. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Decorate cupcakes: Tint some of the buttercream pink with gel-paste food color, if desired. Use an ice cream scoop to place buttercream (untinted or pink) on top of cupcake, then top with sprinkles. For "soft-serve" cones, use a pastry bag fitted with only a coupler (or a large plain tip) to pipe buttercream in a swirl over cone, then top with multicolored sprinkles; or, for "sundae" cones, drizzle melted chocolate over buttercream, then sprinkle with peanuts and top with a cherry. For soft-serve "twist" cones, fill a pastry bag fitted with an open-star tip (Ateco No. 828) with untinted and chocolate buttercreams, placing them side by side in bag; pipe two-tone swirls. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to directions. Fill each cone about 3/4 full of batter, up to first ridge. Place cones in the cups of a cupcake pan or on cookie sheets.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 15 to 18 minutes.
• Place 10 chocolate chips on top of each warm cone, and in a minute or two spread melted chocolate over top. Decorate with candies.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups; place mini paper baking cup in each of 18 mini muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box. Spoon batter evenly into regular and mini muffin cups.
• Bake mini cupcakes 10 to 14 minutes, regular cupcakes 15 to 20 minutes (18 to 24 minutes for dark or nonstick pan), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• If ice cream cone holder is unavailable, make a holder for the cones by tightly covering the tops of 2 empty square or rectangular pans (at least 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep) with heavy-duty foil. With sharp knife, cut 18 "stars" in foil, 3 inches apart, by making slits about 1 inch long.
• Place about 2 teaspoons candies in each ice cream cone. Remove paper cups from cupcakes. For each cone, frost top of 1 regular cupcake with frosting; turn upside down onto a cone. Frost bottom (now the top) of cupcake. Place mini cupcake upside down on frosted regular cupcake; frost side of regular cupcake and entire mini cupcakes completely (it's easiest to frost from the cone toward the top). Sprinkle with candy decors. Push cone through foil opening in cone holder; the foil will keep it upright. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Prepare brownie mix, vanilla cake mix, and strawberry cake mix according to packaged instructions.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Place cones in each well of muffin tin.
• Fill each ice cream cone with 1 tablespoon of brownie batter. Top the brownie batter with 1 tablespoon of strawberry cake batter followed by 1 tablespoon of vanilla cake batter.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar. Add vanilla extract and 3-5 tablespoons milk until you reach thick and smooth consistency.
• Transfer frosting to piping bag and add a dollop to each cone like a soft serve ice cream.
• Top with cherries and sprinkles.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans).
