If At First You Don't Succeed...

Try and try again.

Zoe pointed out a recipe in a cookbook showing some cupcakes made with ice cream cones. I thought they were especially cute and would be easy to handle so rather than expending too much energy on cake prep, I took the easy way out. Or so I thought...

I guess I didn't fully understand. I naturally assumed the batter would be poured into the cones to bake. So right after I read, "Place baking cups in each muffin tin..." I tuned out, jumped the rails and eagerly slopped the batter into the cones. Then I put them in the oven. Then I read the recipe in full.


And I was doing it WRONG! So I removed the first tray from the oven and started all over. I never would've imagined you turned the cones upside down on the batter but it makes perfect sense. Birthdays make me batty.


The second batch baked beautifully and as you can see, all's well that ends well. Please pardon the icing violation in the picture. It was a three year old's party. Between the kids and Joe's Mammaw, we're lucky any of them lasted until the party!
