Use your favorite cake mix (or homemade) and bake at the temperature and time as recommended for cupcakes.
Be sure to fill the cones only 1/2 to 2/3 full, or the cupcakes may overflow.
Get creative with your frosting and sprinkles! You can use different colors of frosting, sprinkles, or even add edible glitter.
