While I was baking my pineapple upside down cake the other day, I actually made a double batch of yellow cake batter. I wanted to experiment with a new idea for the cupcakes- bake them in ice cream cones.

It was fun and they turned out so much better than I expected!

If you decide to make them this way, make sure to not overfill the ice cream cones with the batter. Fill the out no more than 2/3 of the way:

You can see in the picture bellow when they bake they will rise considerably:

You can use the icing to finish them. Don’t they look just like ice cream???

The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that the ice cream cones held up their color. I thought for sure they will come out much darker, and was afraid they might actually burn.

Next time you are tying to do something new or different with your cupcakes, try baking them in ice cream cones. They’ve got approval from my little nephew!

My sister decided to bake him “Monster Cupcakes” this year, and from what I understand they were a hit. So much so that we may be baking a batch for a graduation party. My sister got the idea from Disney Family Fun website, they actually have a video showing how to make them, however we did not quiet follow the instructions and put our own spin on the idea.

All you need is to bake your favorite cupcakes. The “fur” decoration was done with a grass decorating tip 233 using butter cream icing. The little feet are made of marshmallow circus peanuts bars, one bar makes two feet when you cut it in half. For the antennas we used red liquorice and the eyes were made out of mini m&m’s.

We made 15 green monster cup cakes and 15 blue ones:
