Sam, your ice cream cone cupcakes are an absolute home run. The cake turned out wonderfully moist, and your step‑by‑step instructions made the whole process feel effortless. I especially loved the helpful photos — they took all the guesswork out.

I also really appreciate how clearly you listed the ingredients and exact amounts right in the written text. It made prepping so smooth and stress‑free.

A+ recipe. I’ll be making these again!

In reply to Marilyn. Hi Marilyn! I have seen people transport them a few ways. I've seen the cupcakes placed in those cardboard 6 pack holders. I have also seen them placed in a cake carrier with aluminum foil balled up in between the cones so they don't fall over. :)

Any suggestions on best way to transport these 1 1/2 hours away?

I baked these tonight for my grandson’s birthday. I followed the recipe exactly as written but the sprinkles. The cupcakes were amazing! I’ve tried several of your recipes and I have yet to be disappointed. Thank you once again for sharing your delicious recipes.

In reply to Crystal Wallick. Hi Crystal! Next time just fill them a little bit less. I hope you still enjoyed them! :)

I filled my cones 3/4 full I do you get the batter not to cook over the sides of the cones?

In reply to Teri. Hi Teri! What do you mean by regular cake mix? Like a box mix? I suppose you could, but it wouldn't be as tasty. :)

Can you use a regular cake mix?

I used aquafaba from a can of chickpeas for the egg, made buttermilk from soy milk and lemon juice. It turned out great. It was hard to find a recipe that didn’t include a cake mix

In reply to Hillary. We're so sorry this happened, Hillary! Unfortunately this recipe doesn't do particularly well being made in advance; between the baking and the moisture of the cupcakes, the cones get softer and chewier the longer they sit. It's hard to avoid unless you eat them shortly after baking and cooling. We'd hate for you to have to remake the entire batch...you could try to pop the cones in the oven to re-crisp them, but we aren't sure if that will actually work

These cupcakes are so cute and turned out really well! We are having a party today so I made them yesterday (without the frosting so far) and wrapped them in cling wrap after they were completely cooled off, but this morning after being out all night the cones were all soft and inedible today. Do you think there’s anything I can do to save them or should I just make another batch today?

I made these for my grandson’s birthday party and they were a hit! I followed the recipe exactly, filled the cones to the first ridge as instructed, and was rewarded with nicely rounded tops. They were not only cute, they were delicious! The only additional step I took was to poke a small hole in the bottom with a toothpick after baking to help steam escape as they cooled. Whether it helped or not, the cones remained crispy (I baked them the night before and frosted them the morning of the pasty.) I highly recommend this recipe! Wish I could post a picture. They were so cute!

In reply to Jen.

I’m a little late here but maybe this will help someone.
Take a cereal box or one similar sized one — cut “X’s” in it, wrap the box in cute paper and then push the cones through. Now you can transport easily and even use to precent like a regular cake for blowing our candles.

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! If possible you could wait to frost them until you get there to keep them from falling and making a mess. They are tricky to transport, but I have heard people using a 6 pack insert to try to keep them upright and in place. I have also heard people wrapping the cupcake pan in foil and just pushing the cone into a cavity so it's held up by the foil. I hope that helps! :)

In reply to Alicia. Hi Alicia! Did you use the cupcake recipe included in the recipe? Or did you substitute a different cupcake batter? This is the height I fill it to and haven't run into this issue.

I followed this exactly and I filled the cones to the point where the photo says to fill and they all overflowed and made a huuuuuge mess. The next round I filled a little over half way and they rose to the perfect height. It’s a shame I wasted so much cake the first batch though. So beware the height you fill to.

In reply to Lauren. 2 separate piping bags put into one larger piping bag.

In reply to Lauren. Hi Lauren! There are actually two smaller piping bags inside the larger piping bag. You can kind of see it in the one photo. Just fill two smaller ones with the 2 different frostings, cut off the end and stick them in the larger piping bag. :)
