Today is chocolate cupcake day, one of many of my most favorite days.
These chocolate cupcakes are stored in an edible container. Ice-cream cones! They’re easy to make gluten free as well if you have a good chocolate cake recipe and gluten-free cones. We actually used gluten-free wafer cones with the gluten-full flour in the cake.
They were topped with a vegan buttercream frosting mixed with a bit of acai powder to give it a slightly purple tint, sugary sprinkles, and a dollar store lollipop that had the stick mostly cut off as the unicorn horn.
This is an easy way to reinvent your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe. When baked in the cone they may come out a bit fudgy in the middle, which makes it even more delicious. If you try this, be sure to rest the cones filled with the cake inside muffin tins so they don’t fall over.
Personally, I’m not sure how unicorny these look, but they’re still cute. And delicious.

Super fun! I love the cupcake-in-cone trend.
Me too! The first time I ever heard about this idea was when my mom made a bunch of Santa Claus cone cupcakes for my preschool class haha. There are pictures somewhere.
I made cupcakes in cones for a fete once and they sold out instantly! They’re so cute, people love them.
Awesome! How did you transport them? Because I was trying to figure out how I could get them to people who I share my baked goods with but I couldn’t think of a way to prevent them from falling down.
I’m pretty sure I rigged up a system with tin foil to transport them with! Wrapped around the base of the cones and then all wedged into a box. It wasn’t super stable but it worked.
Interesting. I’ll have to try and finagle a solution for these some time in the future.
I found this on Google – an upside down foil tray with holes poked in, seems like a better solution than mine! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3442/4561846349_5205231dfc.jpg
Nice!
Oh my goodness they look SO good!! And putting them in ice cream cones is such a good idea- I’ll have to try it xx
Thank you! Yeah definitely try it!
