I made these years ago for a bake sale and they went over well.

Another thing that can be done is to wind tinfoil in long strips around the cones in the muffin trays to help stabilize them.

Thankis for this Aja - we'll try it soon.

Mmmm...I'm on week 2 of my diet and these are looking so yummy. Saying that, if I wasn't on a diet I'd be making them super-quick. They look scrumptious.

Aja - as these cones are flat bottomed, rather than use foil, would it work if I put a flat tray on top of the cones to hold them in position?

Maycm,

I've actually made them the opposite and they've worked out really well. Set the cones right side up in your muffin tins then pour in your cake batter (they should be nice and rounded on top like a real ice cream cone once they bake). To stabilize them, you can twist some ropes of tinfoil around the cones then remove once they're done baking.

to be honest all i did was put the cones in the mixture and they came out as the picture shows .....no messing with anything

The icing hides any flaws

ps i never used foil that was EEfan...... I dont think u need foil ......just follow my instructions .......Love u EEfan xxxxxxxxx
