Happy July

Did anyone catch the Food Network yesterday? They had a special on all things cupcakes and The Treats Truck in NYC featured this neat little recipe called Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes! What a fun treat for summer and so easy to make! Guests won't know what's coming when they bite into these treats.

What you need:

Ice Cream Cones

Cake Mix

Icing

Toppings

Here's a simple recipe from TLC, but I loved what the Treats Truck's  owner had to share on The Food Network. Here's Kim's tips: For a little extra surprise put some icing at the bottom of the cone. Also, instead of baking the cake inside of the cones, Kim had the cake already baked and then inserted in the cones with a cylinder scooper. A thin layer of icing is then spread on top. Then stick a small chunk of cake to the icing and surrounded with more icing. This top layer of icing should be made to look like Ice Cream. Ta-da!

Also, searching around online, I found this cake pan that's in shape of ice cream cones. Another way to kick up a notch! Don't forget a nice tray or create one with holes to insert the cones. A sweet way to finish the presentation.
