Anyways....due to my success with my test and the glorious weather we have been having lately I am in a very happy and summery mood! I finished work tonight and thought I'd try making a batch of ice cream cone cupcakes. I saw these cupcakes in the Eat Me cookbook when I first got it and thought they looked interesting. I was a little bit skeptical about how well they would work...I had visions of the cone going soggy, falling over or breaking during cooking.. but decided I would give them a go anyway!
After reading a bad review on Amazon about this recipe I decided to use the trusty fairy cake recipe from Rachel Allen's Bake and ice them with vanilla buttercream. I was also a bit unsure about how tasty a cupcake would actually be eating it out of a wafer cone but have just tried one and its surprisingly nice! Definitely a success, although I will let Karl be the final judge of that when he tries one!

These look lovely! I know what you mean about ice cream cones - I keep seeing recipes but worry it'll be too try. The decorations are great, it looks like a real ice cream :)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you. I think karl maybe thought they were a little dry...he just didnt have the knack at eating them tho...i ended up slicing them in half and using a knife to spread the butter cream down the length of the cone!
