I thought that everyone knew about these cupcakes.
They were really popular at birthday parties when I was growing up.
However, when I brought them to school yesterday, some of the other parents were amazed that you could bake a cupcake inside a cone.

They are super easy-peasy.
First, line up some standard ice cream cones on a cookie sheet or in muffin tins.
(A standard cake mix will make about 24 cupcake cones.)
Prepare your favorite cake mix, and fill each cone about half full.
Bake according to the box, using the cupcake time.
Let them completely cool.
Use a large star tip to frost the cupcakes to resemble ice cream.
Add sprinkles and a "cherry" (gumball, gumdrop, etc)

These are a little tricky to travel with.
Since they are top-heavy, they tend to topple over.
To help in transporting them, use a drop of frosting to "glue" the base of your cones to a tray.
The kids LOVE them!
Smiles all around.
