BIRTHDAY CAKE CONES


 1 box favorite cake mix
30 flat bottomed ice cream cones, (buy more just in case some are broken)
1 cup prepared frosting (homemade or store-bought)
1 Candy Bar, chopped - divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions. Stir in half of chopped candy bar. Mix well.
Place ice cream cones in muffin pan or on cookie sheet and fill each 1/2 full with cake batter (about 1/4 cup). Do not fill more than half way, they will overflow.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cake springs back to the touch. They'll puff up and look like ice cream cones. Cool completely.
Ice with frosting.
Decorate with remaining chopped candy bar, sprinkles, Smarties or coconut flake.
The cones are best served the same day as they are prepared.
Makes 30 cones.

***If using a white cake mix, divide mix into four separate mixing bowls and use food coloring to make different ice cream "flavors".

***if using white icing, you can divide icing and use food coloring to make them different colors or decorate them according to a special holiday (Christmas – green and red and so on)

***Keep in airtight container for 2-3 days, the cones go a bit soft after a day, but the kids don’t seem to mind.
