Kupcake Kones!

Valentine’s Day is soon approaching and everyone is starting to think about what they want to make for that special someone. Well, I’ve got a perfect recipe for those who love to cook for their significant other. Everyone loves ice-cream and cupcakes, but what would they think of a cupcake inside an ice-cream cone? Well the recipe below will combine the two with a pretty Valentine’s Day touch!

What you’ll need:

·         Two boxes of white cake mix (Doesn’t matter the brand)

·         A pack of Kupcake Konz (Or normal ice-cream cones)

·         Red Food Coloring

·         Candies ( I used M&M’s and Dove Chocolates)

·         Red or White Sprinkles

·         Package of Oreos ( Not double stuffed)

·         White frosting

First mix the cake mix together, then pour into a bowl and add the red food coloring. For bright colors add a good amount of food coloring. Next, start filling the Kupcake Kones, about three-fourths full so they don’t bake over the top of the cone. Then, add the M&M’s and Chocolate and put the cones in the oven. Bake the cones for the amount of time on the cake mix box.  After the cones came out of the oven and cooled, I dipped the cones in white chocolate. And then I covered the chocolate in red sprinkles. Then, I added an Oreo to the top of the cone and frosted the top the same way you would frost a cupcake.  And finished with more sprinkles!

These Valentine’s Day cupcakes are great for a party or just to give to that special someone! This recipe is easy, but fun and in the end they look spectacular! Even though the certain cupcake cone that I can displaying shows it specifically for Valentine’s Day, there are many different ways you could make these for every special occasion in your life.  I remember in fourth grade I had these cupcake cones; a parent had brought them in for their daughter’s birthday and I fell in love with them. However, now I can make them for more than just birthdays.  If you try these cupcake cones and like them let me know!
