Ice cream cone cupcakes are always a hit at any kids party. Everyone loves getting their own individual cake that they can hold in their hand! Plus, there's no need to decide between chocolate or vanilla frosting. With one easy technique, it is easy to create a beautiful swirl effect with both flavors combined. Simply spoon vanilla frosting into one disposable piping bag and chocolate frosting into another. Place both small piping bags into one larger piping bag fitted with a large tip and when you squeeze out the frosting it will create the same swirl effect as your favorite soft serve ice cream.

Finally, you can top each ice cream cone cupcake with your favorite ice cream toppings. Sprinkles are always a crowd pleaser or you could finish them with a cherry on top. As an added surprise, when you take the first bite into the ice cream cone it's exciting to discover there are also sprinkles inside.
