ROSE CUPCAKE CONES



Rose Cupcake Cones image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons flavorless oil
1 1/2 teaspoons clear imitation vanilla extract, preferably McCormick's
1 1/2 teaspoons rosewater
A few drops pink food coloring
6 tablespoons whole milk
1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles (artificially colored cylinders, not nonpareils, sanding sugar or anything naturally colored)
12 flat-bottomed ice cream cones
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons rosewater
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Food coloring, optional
Sprinkles

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set the dry mixture aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the oil, vanilla extract, rosewater and food coloring.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry mixture and the milk to the wet mixture in two or three alternating batches and mix until just barely combined. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the sprinkles until they're evenly distributed.
  • Arrange the ice cream cones in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Add the batter to a large piping bag and snip a hole at the tip about 1-inch wide (or use a 1-inch tip). Fill the ice cream cones to the inner line of each cone. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • For the frosting: Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar. Add the milk, rosewater, vanilla extract and salt and beat to combine.
  • For the assembly: Decorate the cupcakes with the frosting of your choice. Or, if you made a double batch of frosting to have enough for the roses, separate the frosting, adding dye if you choose, and place into piping bags fitted with a rose petal tip and a leaf tip. Directly onto the center of the cupcake, pipe one small arch shape with the rose petal tip, then another halfway overlapping the previous petal, continuing until your flower is complete. Using the piping bag with the leaf tip, add leaves. You can also form any other decorations your heart desires (for example, using a star tip for adornments). Add the sprinkles.

SURPRISE CUPCAKE CONES



Surprise Cupcake Cones image

Candy treasures are hidden and bound to be found in ice cream cone look-alikes.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 cup M&M's® chocolate candies
18 flat-bottom ice cream cones
3 containers (12 oz each) Betty Crocker™ Whipped strawberry frosting
1/4 cup Betty Crocker™ candy decors

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups; place mini paper baking cup in each of 18 mini muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box. Spoon batter evenly into regular and mini muffin cups.
  • Bake mini cupcakes 10 to 14 minutes, regular cupcakes 15 to 20 minutes (18 to 24 minutes for dark or nonstick pan), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • If ice cream cone holder is unavailable, make a holder for the cones by tightly covering the tops of 2 empty square or rectangular pans (at least 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep) with heavy-duty foil. With sharp knife, cut 18 "stars" in foil, 3 inches apart, by making slits about 1 inch long.
  • Place about 2 teaspoons candies in each ice cream cone. Remove paper cups from cupcakes. For each cone, frost top of 1 regular cupcake with frosting; turn upside down onto a cone. Frost bottom (now the top) of cupcake. Place mini cupcake upside down on frosted regular cupcake; frost side of regular cupcake and entire mini cupcakes completely (it's easiest to frost from the cone toward the top). Sprinkle with candy decors. Push cone through foil opening in cone holder; the foil will keep it upright. Store loosely covered.
