Cupcakes have now been so fashionable for so long...does anyone else agree that they are loosing their touch. Everyone 'decorates' cupcakes nowadays. So when I was asked to make a little boy some cupcakes recently, I almost sighed and rolled my eyes but instead I looked at this as a new challenge.
With the help of my very talented sister, this is what I came up with...Rocket Cupcake Cones!
They are so easy to make (I don't follow a recipe I just geusstimate, nannies don't have time for recipes!)
But here are some general guidelines on what I did to make about 12 Cupcake Cones:
6oz Butter/ Margarine (can also use with dairy free)
6oz Sugar
6oz Self Raising White Flour
3 Eggs
Soften the butter in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon, mix in the sugar.
Make a dent in the centre of the mixture and crack in the three eggs. Mix together.
When mixture is smooth, fold in the flour using a metal spoon.
(You can add flavourings or colourings here if you wanted too, I just added a little vanilla extract)
Put your *flat bottom* Ice Cream cones on a baking tray.
(Now I have seen some people buy disposable deep roasting tray, turn it upside down and cut circles out to hold the cones. But I haven't toppled any over yet, so I just stand them on the baking tray!)
Spoon the mixture into the cones, fill the cones about 2/3 of the way for a perfect round top.
Place in over for approx. 15-20 minuets, but check regularly towards the end.
Note: I do all my cooking in an AGA if you are using a conventional oven, adjust temperature and timing appropriately.
Now you can decorate how you wish, I made these into rockets but we have also made them into 99 Ice Cream Cones with a chocolate flake!
