(originally made 6/2010)
This concept has been around for a million and one years, but I'd never attempted it before- bake a cupcake inside an ice cream cone. Since yesterday was Jake's last day of first grade (I KNOW!! I can't believe it either!) I thought these would be a fun treat. We almost hit 90ยบ, so I took the easy way out and used a boxed cake mix and canned frosting.
I slapdashed it into the cones with a cookie scoop, not really heeding the "only fill to blah-blah" instruction. Yeah. The first ones overflowed like Mt. Vesuvius. Try #2 was better, a few bubble overs but it sort of looked like the ice cream had melted and run down the side :) All in all, super fun, really fast and Jake loved them!
