Recipe: Another idea for 100th day of school - Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Hi Wendy. I really like AJ's idea for the necklaces. Here is another idea that was previously posted here on Recipe Link -- Cupcakes made as ice cream cones. I was thinking you could write your daughter's name and/or "100" on the tops of the ice cream cone cupcakes.

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES

To make ice cream cone cupcakes, get a box of cake cones and make up a batch of your favorite cake batter box mix or recipe.

Place a cone in each of the spaces in a muffin tin and fill about 1/2 way full with cake batter.

Bake according to the cupcake directions on your cake mix or recipe, but do check them a few minutes early or if they brown too quickly.

If you fill the cupcakes too full, it is actually ok - they will overflow which will look like melted ice cream when done! Just don't fill more than 3/4 full or you'll have more mess than fun.

Frost with your favorite fluffy frosting and top with sprinkles, if desired. I have found that these are great fun for kids.

Editor's note: Try using a muffin pan as a holder for the cones when transporting. - Happy Baking, Betsy
