Photo of the Day: Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes
I wish I had been the recipient of Susan's box of colorful ice cream cone cupcakes; alas, they were for her son's birthday. I'll have to follow Susan's recipe at her blog Slice of Sueshe so I can make these for my next birthday. You're never too old to eat cake out of an ice cream cone.

I recently participated in a MoveOn.org bake sale for Barack. One of the other participants made these ice cream cone cupcakes, and folks went wild over them. They were the first item to sell out completely.

I remember when I was in elementary school in suburban NJ, ice cream cone cupcakes were one of those things that defined the cool kids from the other ones. Cool kids brought these babies (usually funfetti-flavored) in for their class parties. Oh yea.

I really wanted to put ice cream on top of the cake, under the frosting, but we had no way to store them. Definitely something to try next time. :-)

We've made these for the boys' birthday parties, too. They are so easy. I recommend not making them too far ahead of time though as the cone will absorb some of the cake's moisture and soften, which you won't want happening.

Although I've heard of these things for decades, I've never actually eaten one.
What is the appeal? Aside from convenience. Cake baked in a stale, dry waffle cone off the grocery shelves? I don't care how much frosting you put on, this sounds awful. It may be a big seller at bake sales, but seriously, how far down does anyone eat into that cone?
Slap me silly, I can take it! zucchini

This looks too adorable. What decadence!
