More than a cradle for ice cream scoops, waffle cones are the secret behind another iced confection: a tree-shaped cake laden with snowy frosting.
Ingredients:
your favorite cake mix, or your best cake recipe - twice
cream cheese frosting
sanding sugar
Directions:
1. To make the trees, bake the batter inside waffle cones, lining the cones with parchment paper and standing them in holes cut into an inverted disposable foil roasting pan.
2. When the cakes are ready, remove and discard the cones and parchment.
3. Then invert each tree cake onto a regular cupcake, cementing them together with a dab of frosting.
4. Cover the entire tree, cone and cupcake, with cream cheese frosting using a pastry bag and a star tip.
5. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, and use a little extra to create beds of snow for serving.
6. The picture is of snow-laden trees, but you could do them green with colored ornaments and dots.
7. Be creative.
8. And don't forget, this is a double cupcake!!!
