Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Last school year was the first year I had a day off with no one at home with me and all three kids in the same school.  Thursdays were MY DAY to finally do something for myself.  You know what most Thursdays consisted of?  Me missing my kids and surprising them after school with fun treats!

A friend of mine taught me how to do this back in high school, and I have been making them ever since.  My kids LOVE when I make these fun cupcakes.  Here's how you do it!

1 cake mix, any flavor
eggs
oil
water
12 ice cream cake cones
1 can frosting, any flavor
sprinkles, of course!

Preheat oven according to cake mix directions.  Cover a 9x13 pan tightly with foil and use the tip of some scissors to cut 12 small slits, and push the ice cream cones through the openings.
Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil and water according to the directions on the box. Fill the ice cream cones halfway with batter and bake according to the recipe directions.   Allow to cool completely and then decorate with icing and sprinkles!

Surprise your kids with these someday and let me know what they think!  ENJOY!  XO
