I know that baking cupcakes in ice cream cones is not new information. I have seen different versions of it for a while now on the internet.
I tried making them a few years ago and they didn't turn out so good. They were sort of flat or ever so slightly domed. They were always a disappointment. They never looked good decorated.
Then I tweaked the baking technique. I went upside down.
Here are the steps.
Mix up your cupcake batter. I used Duncan Heins.
Spray your cupcake pan with cooking spray.
Fill your cupcake pan about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
Easy peezy. Now turn your cupcake cones upside down.
One of the great advantages to this technique is that you don't have to worry about any of the batter filled cones toppling over on the way to the oven. I hated that.
When they are finished baking, let the pan cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack. Then you can lift them out and you will have this:
Doesn't that look pretty? .... and easier to decorate?
If you have any little nubs like in the picture above, just use a knife and slice it off. Icing will cover all ills.
Ice the cupcake cones with butter cream. Drizzle on some Magic Shell. Add some sprinkles and a cherry on top! Look what you got! Put these in the fridge for just a few minutes so the Magic Shell will harden.
When these are being made, I need to move fast! All the little Beanes heard me getting out sprinkles and came running.
String Beane loves these. It is nice to have an ice cream sundae looking option when you are allergic to milk. (Notice little Jelly Beane's face? She thought he was taking hers away.)
Butter Beane has inherited my sweet tooth. It is one of the many things I love about him.
My sweet Jelly Beane woke up from her nap and came running at the smell of cupcakes.
These cupcakes freeze beautifully too! Just freeze them in a zip lock bag. When you are ready to eat them. Just take them out of the freezer, ice them and decorate. Then you have an impressive dessert on a moments notice.

ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! I'm going to have to add this to my ongoing list of foods-in-disguise dinner ideas: I make mashed potato frittata "cupfakes" for April Fools' Day, so this sounds like a great incognito dessert idea. Thanks for sharing!
