Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so excited you are here! Be sure to check out the ALL NEW Cupcake Heaven page! And if you are in need to a special cupcake design, use the “Be a Hero” area!
The official end to this Summer is next Monday, Labor Day. To celebrate, we have one last Summer cupcake before we dive into Fall and the Holidays…Watermelon Cupcake Cones. I’ve shared this recipe before, but this time I baked the cupcakes in fun Ice Cream Cones.
Aren’t they fun? I started with pink and green cones, you can find them at Walmart or Kroger, then using a Food Writer, I colored the stripes on the green cones and the seeds on the pink.
Watermelon Cupcake Cone Supplies

- Pink and Green Ice Cream Cones
- Food Writers - green and black
- White, pink and green frosting

The Watermelon cake batter, made with watermelon jello for flavoring, is baked right in the cones. Learn how to bake them upside down…it’s really easy!
Fun treat for the kiddos and adults. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
