Ingredients

  • 12 sugar ice cream cones
  • 1 box cake mix any flavor—chocolate, vanilla, funfetti… your call!
  • Ingredients called for on the cake mix box usually eggs, oil, and water
  • 1 cup buttercream frosting store-bought or homemade
  • Sprinkles mini chocolate chips, or edible glitter for fun

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: 350°F (175°C) is your friend. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the cones: Stand sugar cones upright on the baking sheet. A muffin tin can help them stay stable if needed.
  • Mix the batter: Follow your cake mix instructions. Quick, simple, and no stress.
  • Fill the cones: Spoon batter into each cone, filling about 2/3 full. Don’t overfill—these babies rise!
  • Bake: 15–20 minutes, depending on your oven and cone size. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Cool: Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting—patience, my friend.
  • Decorate: Frost with buttercream and add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or whatever creative chaos you desire.
