Ice Cream Cupcake Cones

I made these cute ice cream cupcake cones for my nephew's 4th birthday. I used a simple cupcake mix because it's just too easy and I don't think 4 year olds will appreciate chocolate cupcakes made out of Valhrona. The batter is baked right inside the cone. It's important not to overfill because they will rise in the oven and overflow, looking more like a sad melted ice cream cone. I decided not to use frosting because I just feel so guilty feeding kids all that sugar. Instead I used Reddi Wip spray whipped cream. It's made with real dairy cream and no hydrogenated oils . It comes in two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, and even a low fat version which is great because kids can't really tell the difference. I decided to have a ice cream cupcake cone stand where the kids can come and pick the flavor whipped cream and sprinkles to top their cones. They really got a kick out of having the cones made on the spot. Some licked off all of the cream and came back for another swirl! Since the cones only have a small space in the inside it's a great way to portion control cake for the kids.
