After reading several reviews, here is what I did.
1. Made the cupcakes without the cones. Cooking the cone makes the cone tough and chewy.
2. Took some 9oz paper Dixie cups and cut about 1/2" off the top.
3. Filled each cone about half way with M&Ms.
4. After the cupcakes had completely cooled, I coated the top of a cupcake with icing and turn it upside down on the top of the cone and then finished icing the cupcake.
5. Set inside the Dixie cup for stability.
They came out perfect. |

I love these cupcakes now, as much as I did when I was a kid, and that was a long time ago! I have made them for my daughter's birthday several times and they have always been a hit. There is one thing that I do different, I put the batter into the cone and bake them upright in a muffin pan. It works every time!!! |

Unfortunately, I have to give this recipe a very low rating. I was making these for my children and their cousins for the 4th of July. I won't make this recipe again. I thought it was strange to bake these cupcakes with the cone upside down in the batter. I've now read other recipes that fill the cone with batter right-side up - after pitching most of my cupcakes in the garbage because the cupcake didn't stick to the cone and either fell out or became top-heavy and tipped over. I'll try this recipe again because I'm sure it will work by filling the cones and baking them upright. It's too bad I wasted all that time, money, and effort. Better luck next time! |

These are the best treats!! they are my favorite..after reading some reveiws i see that a lot of people have trouble keeping the cones standing...we put them in a 9x13 pan and form aluminum foil around them to keep them standing |

I made these last night for my daughter's bday party at school and this morning the cones were collapsing b/c of the weight of the cake and frosting. The cone also felt like cardboard so I trashed them all. I too was worried about transporting them, but I read another review where they used egg cartons--genius! I think I'll try standing the cones upright in the oven next time. I was going to give this recipe a bad review but after reading other reviews, I may try this again, someday. |

I tried my first batch which was six of them. I filled at least 3/4 to the top. They came out great. To have them not tilt over, I wrapped foil around the bottom of the cones, and baked in a muffin pan. |

My mom started making these for us 20 years ago. I loved them then and still do now. |

I love this! instead of doing regular sized cupcakes, I made mini and stuck two together. I filled the bottom with some ice cream then put the two mini cupcakes on top of the ice cream then frosted it. It was a big hit at a family gathering and am going to us it at my daughters 3rd birthday |

I had previously made this recipe by filling the cones and they all either fell over or came out half filled. After trying this recipe, the cupcake part came out much better by placing the cones on top. TIP: HALF WAY THROUGH THE COOKING TIME, READJUST THE CONES BECAUSE THEY DO TILT. YOU MAY HAVE TO FIX THE CONES 2X. Quick and easy to make and the kids do love them, even if the cones aren't crispy. |

Wonderful idea. I actually had students make these in some of my foods classes. I had them try chocolate cake as well and by far the lighter cake versions were most liked. Great for bake sales, birthday parties or just a fun kid activity! |

I love making this dessert it was easier to put the mix in the cone and put it upright. But it was really good and the kids really loved it! |

I don't know how anyone is able to make these without the cones tilting...I think that all 23 of mine tilted and some even overflowed. I don't know how I am going to frost them. Next time (if there is a next time), I will fill the cones upright and try baking them that way. |

I tried the recipe and I hated it. The cone was very tuff and like rubber I would never make them again. Unless you glue them down they keep tipping over.
NOT GOOD |

This recipe comes out better if you fill the cones with the batter then sit in the cupcake pan. Otherwise the cone is empty! |

I did this with cupcakes almost 30 years ago when my kids were in school. Mine were always the first to go because they were different. ED |

I love this recipe! It is easy and kids just love it! However, they do NOT travel well! I've made them twice and tried to take them out of the house and they tip over. The second time I packed them in a cupcake tray with tin foil around each one to keep them from tipping. My suggestion: serve this one at home, or wait to put the icing on when you arrive at your destination!! |

My Mom used to make these for us when we were kids and that was 50 yrs ago. But the only difference is she put the cake mix right in the cone and stood it up in the muffin tins. We liked it with Marble Cake mix. And of course the best part was decorating them once she had the frosting on them. There are so many different toppings you can do. The kids have fun with the decorating. I hope you all enjoy these. They make a great rainy day activity. |
