Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

I think this is perfect for kids birthday's at school or school fairs.

Ingredients:
1 pkg of your favorite cake mix
1 - 2 packages of flat bottom Ice Cream Cones
Icing Sprinkles
Aluminum Foil
Cupcake pans

Directions:
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Follow all directions for cupcakes, including oven temp. Take the cones and wrap the bottoms in foli to stablize the cones in your cupcake pans.

Fill the cones a little more than half way with batter. Batter will make between 1 and 2 doz cup cakes. Place in oven. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

I remove the foil and pans and let the cones cool in an flat bottom colander or pan. They cool pretty quickly, about 30 min.

When cool, Ice the tops of the cakes to look like Ice cream and decorate.

They really are yummy! But you really can use any combination to get the look you want. Just add food coloring to get the desire color you choose if it is not avaible.

Again this is not my recipe, but I received it on allthingsfree yahoogroup and these are so cute!
