Cupcake Tuesday~Snow Cones & Ice Cream Cones
Happy Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so excited you are here! Looking for a cupcake recipe? Be sure to check out the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 250 cupcake recipes and decorating ideas!
I’ve learned that scheduling can change pretty quickly around blogland. And Cupcake Tuesday is no exception. Over the weekend, while chatting with the Dads Rock Bash girls, Keri Lyn from She Saved, sent me a Skype message, that went something like this…I just adore your cupcakes, do you think you would have time to share some Summer Cupcakes with my readers. Well, I had kinda promised myself that I wouldn’t take on any more guest posts until after this weekend’s graduation and the Dads Rock Bash, but…you know, they’re cupcakes…and I just couldn’t say no. So, I adapted my plan a bit, which was to share some graduation cupcakes with you, I’ll post them later in the week.
While trying to figure out what fun Summer Cupcakes I wanted to share with Keri Lyn’s readers, I decided on the Snow Cone Cupcakes, and since these Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes were just so darn fun, I decided to share both with you all for Cupcake Tuesday! And because I’m having a blast doing the how-to videos for you, here are the easy-peasy Summer Cupcakes, just in time for an end of the school year party, birthday get-together or just because!
Snow Cone Cupcakes:
You will need:
- Snow cone cups & straws (I bought Rival brand at Walmart)
- Cake Mix plus ingredients to add (see how I make mine taste like I made them from scratch)
- Cupcake liners
- Buttercream Frosting
- Decorating Sugar (I like Wilton brand)
Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes:
You will need:
- Sugar Waffle Cones (or any type cone will work)
- Cake mix plus ingredients to add
- Cool Whip (I used Creamy, Strawberry and Chocolate)
- Sprinkles (any are fine)
Tools that I used:
- Spatula to spread frosting
- Ice Cream Scoop
- Sharp knife to cut excess cake from cone
- Cupcake Tins and liners

Amazing cupckaes. I am trying it.
I tried to watch your video, but it kept stopping and reloading. I could not get the jist of the video.
Hmmm..it worked okay for me. But here is the link to view it on You Tube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Hhwg5NtHv3k#!

Just saw this. How clever you young gals are! I wish I knew about this when my son was young. Hopefully I’ll be able to use this when I have a grandchild. (God willing, years from now)
Thanks for answering so quickly the other day! They held up great and both the “snow cones” and the “ice cream cones” were a hit.
@Fawn, Oh Great! I’m so glad they worked for you! Thanks for letting me know!

Love your videos! We are doing these today for my little girls birthday. How long does the coolwhip hold up? Do you put it on right before serving? I am in Fl and it is hot hot hot and humid right now. Just curious. I probably will wait until the last minute. Cant wait until tomorrow!!!
@Fawn, Yes, I would add it shortly before serving and keep them in the freezer. Thanks so much for giving them a try! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!

We will be making these ASAP!
You are so clever! Love it!
These are adorable!!! I love the snow cones!
That was so fun to watch! Your cupcakes are AMAZING. Love the added sugar on the snowcones, they must really catch the light in a neat way. However do you refrain yourself from eating everything in sight?!?
Thanks for linking up to SNS!
