What is a cone cake?

A cone cake is a cupcake baked into an ice cream cone. During baking and decorating it’s often challenging to get all of the cones to remain upright. The chances are good that you’ll end up with an unfortunate magical mess.

Enter Yippee Cone Cakes bases. The bases assure your cakes will behave themselves throughout the process. The bases keep the cones standing during baking, decorating, and serving. They may even catch drips to save some mess. Plus, they are pretty and add extra color to your masterpiece.

Kari worked with Yippee on her Chocolate Covered Strawberry Valentine Cone Cakes and was so happy with them that she was eager to do one for our blog, as well!

Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes

Cupcakes in a cone are easier to eat with less mess at parties. Since the container is edible, just take off the base and chow down. For kids, it’s easier to hold the cone than try to remove a traditional cupcake wrapper. Maybe even prevent an extra bath time? No promises here, but cone cakes are definitely more fun to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix and ingredients to make cake, water, oil and eggs
  • 24 ice cream cones
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • yellow food coloring, optional
  • 6-8 fresh strawberries, washed, tops removed and sliced
  • 1 lemon, cut into 6 slices and quartered
Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 and place Yippee Cone Cake Bases on a light-colored baking pan.
Place 1 ice cream cone into each base making sure to press the cone gently but firmly onto the base. Set aside.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Spoon batter into prepared cones up to the fill line on the cones.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let set to cool completely before frosting.
Beat butter for 30 seconds in a mixing bowl. Add sugar and lemon juice and beat for 2 minutes. Add food coloring if desired.
Continue to beat until you have a frosting consistency you can work with. If you need to add additional liquid, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and beat well after each addition.
Place a large star tip onto a piping bag and place frosting into the bag. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Top each cupcake with a sliced strawberry and lemon slice.
