Ice Cream Cone Treats

Love the idea! They were really cute and the taste was good even though the texture of the cone was a bit undesirable. I added mini chocolate chips to chocolate cake mix and frosted with bubble gum flavored frosting. They are top heavy so I will try to come up with a way to keep them from falling over and messing up the frosting.

For this recipe I was really worried about the sogginess described in the reviews. I ended up poking 2 small holes in the bottom of the cones before setting them in the muffin pan and filling with batter. The holes allowed the steam to escape and not soak into the cone. I also used funfetti cake mix. I will warn that it does require quite a bit of frosting. I made this for my softball team that I coach and they LOVED it (Also made enough for the other team :) )

While a fun treat to make(totally forgot to rate this months ago). My kids loved the whole fake out ice cream cone...and always look to me to make something different. I will give this note out to others. Warning....waffle cones and colored cones are not exceptable for this recipe....as someone that tried them. they warped and sagged and were not appealing to the eye ;-) Oh it was bad. Stick with the plain and original cones, they are the best. And note: the recipe here...leaves off the cones as part of the recipe....which is important.

SERVE PROMPTLY AFTER COOKING, and FROSTING!!!!!! What this RECIPE fails to tell you, is that the cupcake ice cream cones need to be served promptly after making them. I decided to make these for my bfs 31st birthday because it'd be nice not to have dishes every time we want to have a piece of cake. ..I made then the night before.. let them cool, and planned on frosting and decorating them the next day.. NO WAY, when i opened the container they were SOGGY, all of them fell over. Half of them can't even stand up on there own... They are okay to eat if you enjoy eating a SOGGY ice cream cone. Some where on this recipe it needs to SAY, serve promptly after cooling and frosting.. That they cannot be stored. I was so excited to make these.. but what a mess! What am I going to do with 15 soggy cake ice cream cones?! waste of money time and energy. Don't make these to surprise any one the next day or you will be sorely disappointed.
