As many people know I have recently found lots of motivation on Pinterest and found many different projects I’d like to try. The first project just happened to be really good timing for my little girl’s 3rd birthday. I decided to try and make cupcakes made to look like Ice cream cones. I may be known for many things but cooking was never one of them. Baking does seem to be a lot easier to me so I figured I’d give it a shot. I decided to start with a box mix for the cupcakes and pre-made frosting (Which I barely had time for that). I chose to try and make fluffier cupcakes by adding Jello, and if I do say so myself they turned out AMAZING! They were moist and fluffy and had a great taste!!
So now on to the actual project, time to decorate the cupcakes to look like ice cream cones. First we decided to bake cupcakes into the actual ice cream cones, this turned out great and the girls liked that they each had one. Now time for frosting …WOW! I don’t know why Icing cupcakes looks so easy on TV. I should have made a few extra for practice but considering I didn’t start decorating till after midnight it was more about getting thru it before I fall asleep standing up. After teaching myself a few techniques that I found to work best, It may not have been exactly what I envisioned but in the end I’m happy with how it all turned out.
One thing to keep in mind , the girls all asked for Ice cream after seeing the cupcakes so clearly they decided to take the ice cream cupcakes a little more literal then I had originally intended.
