When I look at Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes they immediately make me happy! I thought that these were going to be super complicated to create (because they look so awesome) but as it turns out they’re pretty easy. This is definitely the birthday treat to send your little off to school with, they’re an instant hit!
Worth The Investment
Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
- Prep time: 1h
ingredients
- Super Moist Rainbow Cake Mix (the mix calls for vegetable oil, water & eggs)
- Flat Bottom Ice Cream Cones
- Vanilla Frosting
- Sprinkles
- Cooking Spray
- Cupcake Liners
instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- Next, place the cupcake liners in a cupcake pan and spray with cooking spray. Make the cake batter as directed on the box, and then disperse the batter evenly amongst the cupcake liners, you only need to fill them ¾ of the way.
- Place an ice cream cone upside down on top of each, pushing them into the batter lightly.
- Allow them to bake for 20-25 minutes. Please note that you may need to adjust the cones as the cupcakes are baking. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, remove the paper liners and frost each cupcake.
- Top with sprinkles, and serve at your next party!

Wow – that is easy! And they are so much fun and beautiful!! But I had a question about the cones being in the oven for the 25 mins of baking. Do they start browning and or dry out so much that they become crumbly?
Lisa Horn
omg. this is ingenious, to put the cone on top of the batter instead of the batter inside the cone!!!!
Marina
I like this idea because putting the cake mix in the cone causes them to get soft if you make them the day before, i have a question though do these get top heavy and tip over?
Sarah
what a great idea, totally trying this!
Katen
I make these cake cones but I pour the mix right into come and bake it as if it were a cup cake.
Katie
This is an incredible idea! I can’t wait to try it. My 4 year old will go nuts for these!
Pam
My mother made these when I was small but she turned the cones the other side up and filled them with cake batter and baked them that way.
Angela
Doesn’t cones burned?
Angela young
I’ve made these but I baked the batter in the cones they turned out great plus they were not top heavy cause the cake was in the cone not just on top.
Corri McFadden
The cake actually bakes down the cone and they turn out perfect.The cone stays crispy and zero mess from having to pour the batter in. Both ways work great! xo
Carol Tuttle
Thank you for haveing me. Going to make the cone cakes for Easter for the kids and of course me to.lol
Corri McFadden
Love that, be sure to share a pic after you make them I would love to see how they turn out! Happy Easter.
Toni
Our grandson has a severe egg allergy, what can I substitute for the eggs in the cake mix?
Corri McFadden
Applesauce is a great substitute for eggs, They say to use a quarter cup of unsweetened applesauce for each egg. If you have sweetened applesauce you can use that too just bring down the sugar a bit in the recipe.

I been looking at this 4 a few weeks so Lords will I plan to try this 4/20/19 and surprise my church family with treats Easter Sunday ?
Corri McFadden
Love it! Be sure to share if you make them! Happy Easter.

You can also bake these directly in the cones themselves! Set them upright in a pan with a substantial edge (tricky–they can tip) and fill them 3/4 full with the batter. Bake at 350 for 10-15 min. The recipe is usually on the cone package.

Yeah id love to join

I am loving these Cupcake icecream cone ideas!! I believe that my Grands would really love them as well. Any suggestions on how to safely get them delivered to them?
Dana
If u stand the cones up in the muffin pan & fill them 3/4 up they will com out better & the cones dont burn! I’ve been making these for my daughter since she was 5……she still asks 4 them at 25!
Corri McFadden
Love that these are a family favorite! They don’t burn when you put them in the pan either, just a matter of preference. I love this way because their’s no mess and super easy to put in and out of the oven. xx
Cheryl Sawyer
I’m going to make them tomorrow but I’m using the mini cones and putting them around the cake
Hayley
OMG, those are so cute! Easy to do and so much fun!
Margaret
OMG! Like it so much!

This is a GREAT spin on the original recipes that call for filling the cups with batter (and trying like heck to keep them from falling over in the muffin tin!). This works beautifully. Grand kids loved them! I discovered that my cones were slightly larger than the muffin tins, so I opted to fill the cupcake papers to the top and then I set the upside down cones over the top of each muffin. I was worried the cake would fall out easily, but the cupcakes baked up into the cone a good inch or more. So, THANKS
