Today is my oldest son's 10th birthday, and I surprised his class with these cool cupcakes. Not hard to make, and turned out quite cute! I researched how to best make them and here are my words of wisdom:
- you can make them right-side up in a muffin pan by putting cake mix to just above the checkered bottom (some people say turn the cone upside down with a muffin liner in the pan, but then you have rough cake to icing)
- box cake works fine, just bake at 350 degrees for 20 min.
- I tried fancy icing tips and even tried using my battery-operated icing pen (by Kuhn Rikon...do not recommend, more trouble than it is worth), but the most ice-cream like result came from just a 1/2 hole in the corner of a ziploc
- use a thicker fudge sauce or the squirt chocolate glaze that you microwave
- pat dry your cherries to add on top, and eat quickly! These cones get stale so do not recommend making the night before.
There are just a few moments when you can be a "rock star" Mom, but make these sweet treats and it's virtually guaranteed! Rock on!~ Rhonda
Those look AWESOME!! My kids totally want me to make them. Maybe you can make them for me?? Kidding! - Heather
