Ice-Cream Cone Cupcakes

These little showstoppers are a playful alternative to everyday cupcakes. Perfect for birthday parties.

• 12 flat-bottomed ice cream cones
• 1 box of your favourite cake mix
• 1 can of whipped cream
  (or your favourite icing)
• Sprinkles (to garnish)
• Fresh cherries (to garnish)
• Preheat your oven to 350˚F, and take out 2 muffin tins.

Prepare your cake mix according to the directions on the box. Then, using a tablespoon, fill each cone, being sure to leave 3/4 inch of space at the top so that the batter can expand and rise without spilling over and making a mess. Stand the filled cones in 2 empty muffin pans. Carefully place the pans in the preheated oven, and bake the cones for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely. Top each cupcake cone with whipped cream or frosting, and garnish with sprinkles and a cherry
