Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Funfetti ice cream cone cupcakes are a fun summer treat!  I made these ice cream cone cupcakes for my birthday this weekend. It’s hard to believe I made a dessert for myself that wasn’t chocolate.

You can any size ice cream cones. I am using the smaller ones. The batter gets poured directly into the cones and then baked. You will need to fill up each ice cream cone around 3/4 the way full, leaving a couple of inches to allow the cakes to rise.

For half of the batter, I added in Rooh Afza, which is a rose water flavored syrup, to both the batter and the frosting. You can mix it up with any syrup of your choice or just leave them plain. As always, this recipe is eggless can be made vegan by switching out milk, butter & sprinkles to vegan.
