These cute Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes are the perfect kids summer dessert — without all of the melting mess!

My daughter is obsessed with Miss Allie Cakes on Youtube – it’s a special treat on weekends to get to eat her lunch while watching her newest upload and recently we stumbled across this episode where she makes super cute ice cream cone cupcakes!

Funny enough, being the baking junkie that I am, I had already bought an ice cream cone baking tray so we set about making our own chocolate ice cream cone cupcakes right away!

I love the contrast and flavor of the crunchy sugar cone with the fluffy vanilla cake and the creamy chocolate buttercream and it made a cute dessert to bring to my parent’s barbecue that night.

You can make these cupcakes using a regular muffin pan but this cupcake cone tray makes it a lot easier – especially if you are baking with kids! Six bucks and you don’t have to worry about the cones tipping over on the way to the oven and the resulting meltdown (from you or your little chefs) – that’s an easy sell to me!

Plus you can use this ice cream cone tray for a sundae bar at a party or to hold cones as you dispense ice cream for a group of kids without getting your hands messy or accidentally knocking one over.
