For me, summer isn't complete without ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream! However, since I'm kinda obsessed with cupcakes I figured why not combine the two and make Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!
I've had a cupcake cone baking rack sitting in my closet for a couple years now and just never got around to using it.
#SummerDessertWeek was the perfect reason to combine my love ice cream and cupcakes and use the rack!
My Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes are super simple to make because I combine store ready and homemade.
To me, just because I use a box mix doesn't make my dessert any less amazing or homemade! I just think of it as a time and sanity saving measure!
The sponsored products from our #SummerDessertWeek that I used in my Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes are:
- Dixie Crystals powdered sugar
- Land O' Lakes unsalted butter
At first, my kids didn't think these were actually make of cake and frosting, they thought they were real ice cream cones!
It wasn't until I turned the cones sideways and showed them they didn't fall apart that they believed me!
So, if you're wanting a fun dessert this summer for your kids, make my super cute, super delicious Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!

These wonderful sponsors provided the prize packs for our giveaways and also sent samples and products to the #SummerDessertWeek bloggers to use in their recipes.
My favorite would be the Lattice topped Blueberry & Peach pie as I love to bake pies with all of the wonderful fresh fruit we have during the summer. That combo would also make great preserves!
love the cones! how do you keep them from falling when putting them in the oven?
I'm truly amazed at this Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes concept. Definitely going to be a great hit every time, especially at kids parties. Why can't we from India participate in your generous giveaways? I really look forward to them.
I'd enjoy a peach based dessert, be it a pie or an ice cream.
This is such a classic fun treat it never gets old!
Cherry pie
These are the cutest cupcakes I have ever seen. I must make these with my grandkids.
These are just gorgeous!
