What’s better than cake? Cake in an Ice cream cone of course! A fun and creative way of turning cupcakes into a mouth-watering summer treat, could you tell the difference?
We love a bake that surprises people. Our favourite question is ‘how on earth did you do that?’!. These ice cream cupcakes are a fun and creative treat that will wow the guests of any birthday party. Once you’ve seen one birthday cake, you’d think you’ve seen them all so let us show you how to impress your guests.
With cake baked right into the cone, the cone dunked into white chocolate and then rolled in sprinkles, topped with vanilla buttercream, and then topped with a shiny pink gumball, what’s not to love?
This recipe is pretty simple to follow and the results are amazing. You’ll even have some cake batter left over after filling up your cones. A great excuse to get back in the kitchen and experiment with another bake, get some inspiration from our lookbook!
Ingredients
Your Favourite vanilla cupcake recipe (you’ll have plenty left over for extra cupcakes)
Ice cream cones
Light Pink Candy Melts
Buttercream
Sprinkles of choice
Pink gumballs
| Method
Start by placing the cupcake cone rack on a cookie sheet for a level surface.
Fill each cone about halfway full with cake batter, it’ll about 3-4 tablespoons. Bake in the oven at the lowest height.
Leave them in the oven until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
Now it’s time for the sprinkles. Melt the light pink Candy Melts and dip an inch of the cone into the chocolate and then into the sprinkles. This will make them stick.
Return the cones to the stand and allow them to set completely.
Using the Wilton 1M tip, pipe a swirl of vanilla buttercream onto the top of the cake.
To finish off these sweet treats, top them with a bright pink gumball and viola your ice cream cupcakes are complete!
Hint: DO NOT store these in the fridge, freezer, or even in a sealed container. The soft cake inside can quickly turn the cones soft. | Tools
