While I was baking my pineapple upside down cake the other day, I actually made a double batch of yellow cake batter. I wanted to experiment with a new idea for the cupcakes- bake them in ice cream cones.
It was fun and they turned out so much better than I expected!
If you decide to make them this way, make sure to not overfill the ice cream cones with the batter. Fill the out no more than 2/3 of the way:
You can see in the picture bellow when they bake they will rise considerably:
You can use the icing to finish them. Don’t they look just like ice cream???
The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that the ice cream cones held up their color. I thought for sure they will come out much darker, and was afraid they might actually burn.
Next time you are tying to do something new or different with your cupcakes, try baking them in ice cream cones. They’ve got approval from my little nephew!
Hey Jeanne
