Did you know you can bake cupcakes in ice cream cones?? In this Instructable, I will show you how to make cupcake cones. This ice cream cone cupcakes recipe is so easy to make with just a few ingredients. This particular type of cupcake is nothing new, ice cream cone cupcakes have been around for quite a while. Perfect for a birthday party. They are super fun and simple to make if I can do it, you can do it. Let's get baking!

Don't forget to follow me and check out my other Instructables. :)

Follow the super easy steps below or watch the video tutorial or do both! :)

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients:

1 standard cake recipe or cake mix along with ingredients to make it
32 oz frosting (depends on how much you put on each cupcake cone)
24 ice cream cones
Sprinkles, optional

Tools:

Piping bag with a star tip, optional
Plastic bag, instead of a piping bag
Scissors
Muffin pan or 13x9-inch baking pan or sheet pan
Bowl

Step 2: Make Your Cake Batter

Preheat the oven to 350 F/176 C. Place the main rack in the middle position.

Now time to make your cake batter. You can use whatever cupcake or cake batter recipe that you want. I have several here on my Instructables page and website. Make it completely from scratch or just use a cake mix or cupcake mix box.

You will of course need the extra ingredients for whatever cake batter that you make. For a box cake mix, it is usually water, oil, and eggs.

Make the batter in a large bowl. Or if you like you could mix it in a pitcher, to make it easier to pour the batter later.

Step 3: Fill Up Those Cones

Take your cupcake cones (this recipe makes about 24 of them) and place them in either a muffin pan or in a 13x9-inch baking pan. You may be able to get all 24 in the baking pan. You can also use a sheet pan.

My preference is the baking pan because it seems to be more stable.

Then use a little measuring cup and pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into each cone. It should be just above the ridge/handle part of the cone. Don't fill it up too much, because then it will overflow when you bake.

Step 4: Bake, Cool, Decorate

Now time to place those cupcake cones in the oven and bake them for 19 to 22 minutes until when you poke them with a toothpick the toothpick comes out clean.

Once they have baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Then you can decorate them. I like to put the frosting in a piping bag with a star tip (Wilton 1M) and then pipe the frosting on. It makes it look like a soft-serve ice cream cone.

TIP: If you don't have a piping bag, just use a plastic storage bag and snip off the corner.

Once you have frosted the ice cream cone cupcakes, you can leave them as is, or add sprinkles to them.
