Mini Funfetti Birthday Cupcake Cones + Giveaway
Celebrating birthdays in our house is always a special time! A special dinner is made, presents are shared and of course birthday dessert! I always let the boys chose the dessert they would like to celebrate with. These Mini Funfetti Birthday Cupcake Cones are always a hit!
Baking the Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix right in the cone is a really easy. And serving them is just plain fun!
Pillsbury is commemorating Funfetti 25th Birthday this year with four all-new frostings in bold, vibrant colors; Bold Purple that comes with brightly colored dot sprinkles, Aqua Blue that comes with shark sprinkles, Hot Pink that comes with pink sugar sprinkles and Vibrant Green that comes with dot sprinkles.
The Mini Funfetti Birthday Cupcake Cones are just as fun to make as they are to eat! Along with the Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix and the new Funfetti frostings, I also used Mini Cones. You can find them right next to all the Ice Cream Cones and toppings.
How to Bake Cupcake Cones
- Mix the cupcake batter according to the directions on the box
- Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray
- Add about 1 tablespoon of cake batter in each
- Turn cone upside down and place on top of batter, be sure to totally cover the batter
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes
Notes:
- You can also fill the cone with batter about 1/2 full and bake upright. I have found the method above to be much easier.
- If your cone does not totally cover the batter, it’s okay, it will just bake up more around the cone and spill over the edge of the cone a bit.
After the Cupcake Cones have cooled, fit a decorator bag with a large round tip, fill with Funfetti Frosting and pipe a swirl on top, finish with sprinkles.
Are you celebrating a birthday soon? Here are a few fun tips for you…
- Keep it simple. If you are serving food, make as many of the dishes ahead that you can. I like serving “Make Your Own” Bars, like Tacos or Hot Dogs with lots of yummy toppings.
- Celebrate for the whole month by hanging a fun Birthday Balloon Wreath on the Door.
- If you have more than 1 child, take turns having a large celebration. Birthday parties can get expensive, so take turns with the kids.

Prep wprk is the best way to make sure it is all done on time and HAVE FUN!!
Great tip on the cupcake cones. My boys love Funfetti. We have always had fun bday parties at home.
try to make as much as you can before hand so you can just enjoy the party!
Have a tradition! Kids love little things that they can count on doing every year! We allow them to pick a place to eat at and we always allow them to pick out a couple balloons to make the house festive (along with a celebration cake or dessert of their choice)! 😀
I love your newsletter!!!
Have somebody to take pictures. You normally get bogged down with all the details and need someone to capture the great moments.
Let the birthday person choose a special meal or a special place to go out to eat.
Don’t tell anyone it’s your birthday
Be original! home made is best to me. Just make sure it’s tailored to the birthday girl or boy.
That is what truly makes it special.
I enjoy the recipes and tips from HoosierHomemade Keep ’em coming 🙂
We always let the birthday person choose their menu for the day. It can be all out crazy and extravagant or my favorite is when they want hot dogs and mac and cheese! We put signs out in the front yard and usually decorate the chair that they sit in.
We let the birthday person pick what’s for dinner and what kind of cake/dessert they want. Lately I’ve been trying to make it a little more fun by hanging some streamers and balloons and the kids seem to love that 🙂
I always include the kids in setup for parties because they love to help! I also get something for all the kids to do like a streamer popper for the end of the party & we do goodie bags if we have the extra money!
Make sure you buy extra batteries for gifts your child may get
