Ice cream cones filled with cake and topped with mint chocolate frosting won’t drip, but they’ll certainly make you melt.
- 1 pkg. Duncan Hines® Devil's Food Cake Mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 18 flat bottom ice cream cones
- 2 cans Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Frosting Starter
- 2 packets Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Mint Chocolate Flavor Mix
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare cake batter as directed on package.
- Using a standard muffin/cupcake tin, put a sheet of foil over whole pan, securing it around edges.
- Using a knife or skewer, poke a hole in foil above each muffin cup. Gently enlarge hole until ice cream cones just fit through it.
- Repeat for all cones. Your cones should now be supported by the foil.
- Fill cones two-thirds full with cake batter and bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
- As soon as cones come out of oven, use a skewer or toothpick to poke 3 holes in bottom of cone to let steam and moisture escape.
- Cool cones completely.
- Pour 1 packet of Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Mint Chocolate Flavor Mix into 1 can of Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Frosting Starter. Stir until evenly blended. Repeat with second can and packet.
- Mix the chopped chocolate into the Mint Chocolate frosting you just created and transfer frosting to a piping bag with an open star decorator tip.
- Pipe the frosting in a swirling motion around your cones and serve.
Tip:
- Cake cones are best served the day they are made, as the cones will lose their crispness the next day.

I found by baking the cupcakes first and then placing them in the cones works just as well if not better because the cones to not turn stale. However, my sister puts a second cupcake pan in the oven with water and then bakes the cupcakes as directed above and the cones are not stale.
Also, when I transport them I use a pizza box and cut out circles for each cone. Before putting the cones in I decorated the box with wrapping paper. This worked well. I had made a similar recipe for my daughters birthday (I made these look like microphones using black licorice for the cords and pink and purple sprinkles on black frosting for the top of the "mic"

This is a really cool tip about the pizza box. I'll definitely use it for my daughters bake sales.

I made something similar to these one time. One tip of advice, if you are going to travel with these, do not frost them until you get to your destination! They are top heavy and will fall.

I wonder if the same would work for waffle cones? the small one, the likely hood that they would go stale should be reduced. I'm going to try it.

Did the waffle cones work better? I would like to make these, but I like waffle cones better, & It would be great if they last a bit longer:)

My cones are always stale after they bake. I'm going to try poking the holes in the bottom. this may be the trick to save the cone!!!

Did poking holes in the bottom work?
