These were fun. I was nervous how they would turn out and if they would get cooked through, etc. but I had no problems with them. I used mini-muffin tins to bake them in and they fit perfectly. When storing these.. make sure to not store them in a air-tight container because the cones will get soggy and start leaning over. I read that I wasn't suppose to, but still did anyways, and just over night some of them were already starting to get soggy.

Made this for my son's class and it turned out wonderful. If you just fill the batter 2/3 of the way, it will turn out great. And even if it fills up to the top, you can smush it in when you get it out.

These were pretty good but next time I will bake the cupcakes seperately and "stuff" them in the cones later. Also, will go the extra mile and do the icing from scratch as store bought is just not good enough and the extra effort is well worth it! Also, will melt some chocolate and fill the bottom of the cone with it for an added treat!

The reason I'm giving them 1 star is because it tuned soggy the next day. It didn't not hold up and just looked plain sloppy. I didn't even bake the cake in the cups. I put the cake inside the cones and it still didn't hold up. I tried a second time and used a waffle cup... same thing :\ never again.

I made these when I was in my 20's and worked in a daycare. You need to fill them 3/4 to the top. The kids love them. I was wondering about the icing in this picture. Is it cool whip or 7 minute? The brownie idea sounds great.

I have been making these for a long long time now and they are so cool! No messy papers to deal with. Great for birthday parties or to take to school or even work! The problem is getting the right amount of batter in the cones. If it's too much it bloops over the top and is a mess and if it's not enough then it doesn't come up high enough in the cone. So becareful there! They are FUN, though! I was thinking of trying them with brownie batter next time.

I made these for a kids birthday party the night before. Numerous reviews recommended not filling the cones up too much because they would over flow. I filled mine 2/3's full and they did not poof up over the lip of the cone. Luckily I could correct this with icing and later batches. However, what a diaster to discover the next morning that most of them were no longer standing in the container...they had fallen over because the moisture in the cake made the cones soggy. Great idea and not bad but THEY MUST BE MADE THE SAME DAY.

Cones were soggy and half baked out over the cone and the other half didn't even rise to meet the cone top.

I think that these were such a clever idea! I played around with the fill line before I made a big batch. I also found that different cake mixes required different fill lines. This was the biggest hit with the adults at the party!

I overfilled several of them and they were a mess. But the ones I filled conservatively came out the best. The kids loved them! However, several didn't transport well (ie they fell over). So, if you plan on having them somewhere other than your home I wouldn't recommend you making these.

The hit of my grandaughter's 1st birthday party. The secret to not having soggy cone bottoms, is to definitely line the cupcake pans with the liners, and then place the open end of the cone on top of the cake mixture. Only fill the cake batter a little over halfway in the liner, or it will expand too much when baking. Also, I opened up the oven a couple of times to straighten the cones, as they tilt when the mixture is baking. When the cones cooled, it was very easy to peel off the liners. Just so you know, the cake batter doesn't go to the very bottom of the cone when it is baked. You will have about a quarter of unfilled cone. The only problem I had was finding a container to easily transport the cones. Because they are top heavy, they tend to fall over. I ended up packing them close together into a deep cover of a tuppleware container . I also think by refrigerating them right before serving would be to an advantage, since I found that the icing was very sticky. All in all , the kids loved them, and so did several adults. I would certainly make them again, because they were different.

These are pretty easy to make, but quite difficult to transport! Make sure not to fill the cones too much - its perfect if you fill the bottom up to the line where the top widens out!

This gets 5 stars, not because the flavors are excellent, but because it is fantastic kids treat. Easy to serve and SO much fun. I made mine about 13 hours before serving and they were not soggy (maybe humidity is a factor in how soggy they get?). Will make again for an easy kids treat.

I have to thank you for this recipe. I shared this with my family from one of my favorite childhood bday party memories. The kids and hubs loved this. Just added alittle fun to our dinner/movie nite at home. Great dessert. any cake mix works and frosting. Great idea for summer holiday parties for kids and kiddie parties.
