  • 7Cool cupcakes thoroughly before decorating, about 1 hour.
Footnotes
  • Cook's Notes:
  • I've made these cones on numerous occasions - birthdays, holidays etc... they are a BIG hit with kids and adults. I adjust the cake colors for the occasion I am baking for (example: Christmas - red/green; Memorial Day, red/white/blue).
  • If making for a bunch of kids, I like to place cones upside down in cupcake papers (looks like a melted ice cream cone).
