Cone cakes
were a childhood favorite of mine. I
recently even found a similar recipe for these in my Betty Crocker Boys and
Girls cookbook. They sound a little weird now, but they’re so fun and very easy
to make! My mom used to make them for our
summer church potlucks. I loved gobbling
them up with my friends.
Here's a few
things that I want to mention. If you
use the colored cones or a colored cake mix it gets a little translucent and
kind of weird looking. I like the
funfetti mix because the more sprinkles the better. If you want to get
creative, do it in the frosting choice. Any
flavor will work. You can even top it
with a cherry if you want. I hope you
have as much fun with these as I do.

Preheat oven
to 375 degrees.
Carefully
line the cones in a large cake pan. Make
the Funfetti cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Fill the cones with batter about 1/2 inch from
the top. If you fill it all the way you’ll
get a mess (Like I did on a few). VERY
CAREFULLY put the pan into the oven.
Bake about
25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Cool.
Dye the frosting. Frost the top, preferably with a piping bag to resemble an ice cream swirl. Add some sprinkles, and serve!
