Cupcake Cones - the UNfail

I'm telling you guys, all this baking is not helping me *one bit* on my weight loss journey. That said, I'm still gonna do it.

I decided to use chocolate cake with a whipped cream "frosting."

CONES...FILLED & BAKED

First up, I decided that mini muffin tins would hold the cones better, so I loaded them up.


I filled a piping bag with cake batter, cut the tip off, and filled the cones. I got a little lazy near the end so the front left is lacking in the cake department.

Next I popped them in a 350°F oven for 19 minutes. When the timer went off, the skewer came out clean, so they were done.



While they cooled, I whipped up my frosting.

PIPING, SPRINKLING & THE FINISHED PRODUCT
Ingredients:
8 oz heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla (I free-poured....I love vanilla!)

Instructions:
Whip until you can pipe it

I piped it on using a star tip.

Sprinkle.

Cherry.

Enjoy.


**Tip: Twist the end of the bag before filling to prevent it from dripping.

They look pretty deceiving, don't they? I'm calling that an UNfail!

Cupcake Cones

Summer is finally here. Parties are popping up everywhere....and for those of you with summer birthdays to plan, well good luck!

This is where we must decide if we are going to stick with the ideal outcome, or go with the convenient one. Your kid wants ice cream. You don't want to scoop it. You don't want messy kids. You don't want it all over your house. The solution you've all been waiting for is.....CUPCAKE CONES!

I really don't understand the fails on this one. Instead of filling a muffin cup, you fill an ice cream cone. Let's say you use a boxed cake mix.

Ingredients:
1 box of cake mix
Oil
Eggs
Water
Ice Cream cones
Frosting
Sprinkles

Instructions:
Bake it.
Cool it.
Frost it.
Eat it.


What is there to fail on?


Oh.
Well, I guess anything is possible...stay tuned for the UNfail!
