First off, I have to share this email Nate sent to a friend of his about a missing Tupperware of mine!
"I thought I'd let you know I have made Elizabeth's "in trouble" list. She's busy baking for an army in here, and is looking for her missing Tupperware container, as she's filled to capacity everything currently in her inventory. Therefore, I am wondering if you indeed have in your possession a Tupperware with a red top. If so, no worries, at least I know it is in safe hands and can offer to her a reasonable explanation as to its whereabouts. If you need me, I'll be canvassing the isles of Target for suitable Tupperware for the queen."Ok, seriously, do I have the cutest husband or what???
Next subject. . . OH MY GOSH. . . if you have kids, like kids, teach kids, (you get my point) THESE ARE A MUST. . .
I got this idea from Betty Crocker almost a year ago but just hadn't gotten around to making these. . .until now. . .
There are two ways to make these adorable treats. . .
1. Choose a box cake that you love (Nate's favorite is red velvet cake)
2. Make the cake according to the back of the box
3. Place cupcake liners into the cupcake tray and then fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with cake dough
4. Place waffle cone (with a flat bottom) on top of the cupcake
5. Cook 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
6. Place cupcakes on a cooling rake.

7. Gently pull cupcake liner away from the cupcake
So pretty. . .
8. and swirl icing on top of the cupcake! (you kind of need two hands to ice these. . . so have a "taste tester" nearby!)
For more of the "soft serve" look. . .
1. Choose a box cake that you love (Nate's favorite is red velvet cake)
2. Make the cake according to the back of the box
3. Place waffle cones in a mini cupcake pan
4.Fill each cone with cake dough but ONLY 1/2 to 3/4 full (at the most)
5. Cook 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
6. Place cupcakes on a cooling rake.
7. and swirl icing around the top of the cone. (you kind of need two hands to ice these. . . so have a "taste tester" nearby!)
8. This kind does not keep well. So make and serve on the same day!

Adorable!
Nate needed a little extra icing half way through his "i have to try one TONIGHT" cupcake. . .
Have y'all heard of Cake Duchess??? I kind of want to make EVERYTHING that she posts. . . there just aren't enough hours in the day! :-) (and I just won a Martha Stewart cookbook on her blog so I am EXTRA in love!)
Don't forget about the CSN giveaway! Only 3 days left!
YES! I used to have my mom makes these every year for my birthday - when I was like 5, of course. We did funfetti. :) And our icing tops weren't as fancy... I love yours! Very cute!
