Recipes Notes

Can I Use Any Flavor Cake Mix?

Yes! These work with any flavor cake mix.  Just be sure to stick with a standard size (15-18 oz) box.  Make the batter according to your box instructions.

Ice Cream Cones

Use flat bottom cones. See the recipe card for purchase/example.

Frosting

Frost these lovelies with anything you want!  Need a few ideas? 

🞹 Important Note 

Don't over fill your cones! It may not look like much batter, but, remember, it will rise as it bakes. Use about 3 tablespoons of batter for each cone. 

Storage

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 2-3 days.  Want to freeze them? After baking, let them cool completely.  Then, freeze your unfrosted cupcake cones in a freezer safe/covered storage bag or container. When you are ready, let them thaw to room temperature, then, frost or serve plain.

How to Make Your Cream Puffs (full instructions in card)

• First, melt the butter, water and salt and bring it all to a boil. Remove it from the heat and stir in the flour.  
• Transfer it to a mixing bowl.  You will need an electric mixer for this step.  Add in the eggs, one at a time and beat until they are fully combined and your batter is smooth.
• Drop the dough, by the spoonful, on an ungreased flat rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake them up and once they are done, remove from the oven.  
• Lightly, poke a tiny hole in each puff. This will release the steam.  Let them cool completely before adding filling.

Ideas for Your Filling

• Whipped topping (ex: Cool Whip)
• Homemade Whipped Cream
• Any flavor of instant pudding
• Pastry Cream
• A whole bunch of frostings will work too!
