Okay, so they don't actually involve any ice cream...but those are real ice cream cones instead of paper used for the cups for the cakes [make sense?]. Also, icing and sprinkles - how fun! The whimsy! I think this is the type of thing that one should really only make when you have a lot of children about [like @ a birthday party]...but I niether have nor particularly care for children...so...exceptions must be made. The only downside is that the batter [I used a store-bought mix] made SO many cupcakes. Over two dozen to be precise. They are as difficult to store as they were to put into the oven...very precarious [but no spills! Joseph is cool!]. So basically I've got just a big pile of ice cream cone cupcakes sitting on my kitchen counter [thankfully the fruitflies are mightily disinterested]. On a more positive note, the cupcakes are sickly sweet, environmentally friendly [no paper cup to throw away] and...my house smells like cupcakes. Mariah Carey would be so delighted.

That sounds really good.
oh my goodness! i have to try making these! i remember having them as a kid and absolutely loving them. yay!
When I went to summer camp as a kid, they used to do this. It was a big treat at the time.
(I do think that normal cupcakes are easier if you want to freeze them so you don't have to eat them all.)
I had never seen this done before so I was pretty impressed with myself. They were pretty tedious to make, but I was happy with how they turned out. I think it's a really good idea - like two treats in one! Only making them required too much patience.
