Ingredients:
You will see that everything you need to purchase can be found at your local dollar store!

*1 package of dry cupcake mix. I chose Mrs. Field’s Confetti but any variety will work. $1.00
* 1 dozen ice cream cones. They must have the flat bottoms. $1.00
* 1 can of frosting of your choice $1.00
* Decorative sprinkles and food coloring (optional) $1.00
*
Cupcake baking tray

I had sprinkles, eggs, and oil already on hand from previous baking projects, but if you need either of these items they can be found at your dollar store as well. We will estimate $1.00 total for the quantities of the products used below.

* 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
* ½ cup of water
*2 medium sized eggs

Directions:
1. Prepare the cupcake batter according to package directions.
2. Spray your cupcake pan well and pour your batter into the pan, filling cups ¾ full.
3. Turn your cones upside down and place on top of the cupcake batter. Press down gently into place.
4. Bake according to package directions. For the brand listed above it was 15 minutes.
5. Remove and allow to cool.
6. In the meantime, you can open your frosting and add food coloring to create various colors. Or, just use it as is.
7. Once treats have cooled, remove them  from the pan. They should just pop out!
8. Cover the top of the cone with frosting and decorate with sprinkles as you wish.

Using the products mentioned above, this recipe will yield 12 cupcake cones.
