Hi, I've seen this trend before, but what I really need to know how long the ice cream cone cupcake - the one you use the ice cream cone and put cake batter in it - last before it can get soggy? I would like to make 16 of those for my son's birthday party tomorrow at his class after their noon lunch. Can I make it tonight and put it in the fridge? I will be using BC frosting on top with bubble gum ball on top, like a cherry.

Sorry can't help ya Gina. But had to tell you what a cute idea that is!!! Love the gumball as cherries! Post a pic! Here's a bump.

I've never had them get soggy, so it won't be a problem! The oven actually crisps them a little bit. They'll be fine!

I made some on Saturday morning for for a Sunday evening event - no problem with getting soggy. Very cute idea for the class!

Thanks, everyone, for your reply - I feel much better knowing that it wouldn't be a problem. I can't wait to give it to his classmates - their school's last day is this Wednesday, so it's a great timing!

I wouldn't put the gumball on until almost ready to serve. I had an issue w/the color bleeding.

sissy - good thinking! glad you mentioned it just before my husband went to get it.

I made it last night and it turned out great. The kids are eating it as of now.

what i need to know about these is how to bake them? do you have a special pan? i've read somewhere to use cupcake pan and place aliminum foil underneath to hold them. is this true? I'm also worried about cone burning.

thanks,
Kat

Those are awesome, they look just like soft serve cones!

I always use a sheet pan or pyrex dish or something with foil over top adn then pop holes into it and slide the cones in to bake them......you want to fill the cones 2/3 way full and bake at 350......usually 20-25 min. or so.....pretty much just like cupcakes.......check them to see when they're done...as the cooking time can vary. When you travel with them a shirt box flipped over with x's cut into it works well......slide the cones into the x and it holds it upright and keeps from falling while transporting.

Katscake - the cones doesn't burn at all.

To make ice cream cone cupcakes, get a box of cake cones and make up a batch of your favorite cake batter box mix or recipe. Place a cone in each of the spaces in a muffin tin and fill about 1/2 way full with cake batter. Bake according to the cupcake direcitons on your cake mix or recipe, but do check them a few minutes early or if they brown too quickly. If you fill the cupcakes too full, it is actually ok - they will overflow which will look like melted ice cream when done! Just don't fill more than 3/4 full or you'll have more mess than fun. Frost with your favorite fluffy frosting and top with sprinkles if desired. I have found that these are great fun for kids, but *very* hard to transport without them all tipping over. As you can see my pic on previous post, I use 3 or 4 layers of alum foil over the muffin pan and poke a little hole on each one for sturdy hold when transporting.

Happy Baking,
Gina

Nice job,
This will be my next project I will try.
I have never heard of cone cakes before.

thanks!! i looked at the pic, but didn't realize they were inside muffin pans. I recently went to BJ's Wholesale and bought a big box of cones. On the side of the box they are advertising a cone cupcake holder. It looks like something you can bake them in & transport them in. I was thinking about buying it, it might just be easier. thanks for the info. This is something i will prolly do for kids bday.

Thanks! You'll enjoy making those.

Gina....I love them! They came out great! I can't wait to try them.

Don't see the bubble gum on top .Probably you decided not to use them or to put them at the last minute. I just missed them in the photo!
The cone cakes look wonderful and for sure the kids are having a ball!

I put them on just before the kids eat it because I never know if it's going to be any "color-bleed" onto the icing, but it didn't. I use BubbleYum brand instead of hard-ball type bubble gum. I was told that the hard-ball kind can stain the icing.
