Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Carefully wrap the outer side of each ice cream cone in foil and stand in the dips of a muffin tin.
Step 2:
Cream together the sugar and the butter until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Fold in the flour and vanilla extract until mixed well.
Step 3:
Place a large spoonful into each cone, do not fill to the top. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cakes are golden and bounce back when pressed. Leave to cool and remove foil.
Step 4:
Meanwhile, make the buttercream topping by mixing the icing sugar, butter and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Step 5:
Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag and swirl over the cakes. Add sprinkles, a flake and enjoy!

Recipe Reviews
Can these be made with any cupcake recipe?
We have only experimented baking this recipe with these specific quantities. You can try an alternative recipe however you may need to adjust your bake time and the amount of cupcakes that a different recipe makes may differ from the amount we have specified.
Can these be frozen ?
Whilst you can typically freeze cupcakes, we personally wouldn't recommend it for this particular recipe as the ice cream cone may become soft and chewy in the freezer rather than giving the nice crisp texture when freshly baked. We hope that this helps.
It was so good
I made 14 ice cream cup cakes. I cooked these in a small portable oven. They were fine. Decorated & sent home with the kids from the school holiday club.
