Ice Cream Cone...CAKES!!!
I made these adorable cones for my daughter's fourth birthday party! The theme was ice cream and I never could find a cake that I just fell in love with. So, I had a quick spark of creativity and decided to roll with it! Unfortunately, I am no baker and just a mediocre cook, so I was very hopeful these would turn out!
*I started by baking vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. I also baked the same amount of mini cupcakes (you will need a mini to go with each regular size cupcake). One box of cake mix made 24 regular size and 24 mini cupcakes.
**Next, I took plain cones (48 to be exact). I stood them up in a mini muffin pan. I filled each one with a handful of skittles. After the cupcakes finished baking, I filled the cones with one regular cupcake turned upside down.
***The next step is to take a dollop of icing and put it on the bottom of the mini cupcake(this serves as the glue) and attach it to the top of the regular cupcake.
****Finally, I iced both cupcakes. I used extra creamy icing in a large Ziploc bag. I cut the tip off and piped the icing on. I mixed in food color to make the pink.
I would also like to add that I ran out of icing and had to make another trip to the store. While I was there, I saw these little bad boys and will definitely use these next time!!!
They come in all colors and weren't at all messy like the Ziploc bags can be!!!
*****I topped with sprinkles and red skittles. They were a big hit at the party! ENJOY!!!

So perfect for a 4 year old! I have actually bakes cupcakes before just in an ice cream cone like that and they turned out great too!
