These are microphones to go along with the American Idol cake I did. I had problems getting my cupcakes to rise very much in these ice cream cones so I baked a little bit in the ice cream cones and then made regular cupcakes in the Wilton silicone baking cups (which are just the right size) and flipped them over to put on top of the cones. That gave the height that I wanted for the microphones. Then they are just frosted with buttercream icing.
