Giant Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

The leaders of the women’s group at my church (which is called the Relief Society) organized an online cupcake contest where anyone who wanted to participate could submit a photo of a cupcake creation. This was my contribution.  I didn’t win but my entry earned the title of “coolest”!  It was a fun way to spend an afternoon especially when you are in social distancing.

6 cupcakes of your choice (I made chocolate chip cupcakes)

1 recipe Buttercream icing, recipe here, colored as desired, I did green, pink and brown

1 ice cream cone

various toppings as desired such as mini chocolate chips, mini M&M’s, sprinkles, toffee bits, red gumball (for the cherry on top)

1  Bake cupcakes and let cool.

2  Make frosting and color as needed.

3  Carefully trim the back of ice cream cone with a serrated knife so that it lays flat on your serving piece.  Anchor to platter with squirt of frosting then arrange cupcakes on platter and anchor with frosting.

4  Fill piping bags fitted with #12 tips with your frosting colors.  Frost cupcakes from the bottom up and sprinkle with desired toppings.
