Watermelon Cupcake Cones Enjoying a delicious Summer time meal with friends and family is one of my favorite things! Gathering on the deck, grilling our dinner and a fun dessert is perfect this time of year. I remember my Dad growing wonderful looking watermelons in his garden, and although I don’t really like to eat watermelon, I do like watermelon flavor…I know, it’s strange. So these Watermelon Cupcakes are perfect for those evenings on the deck with friends, to take to a potluck or cookout, celebrate Memorial Day or Fourth of July, or they even make a fun treat to bake with the kiddos. Beginning with a Watermelon Cupcake recipe, the batter is baked right in the Ice Cream Cones. You can find the pink and green cones at Walmart, then using a Food Writer, the stripes are simply drawn on the green cones and the seeds on the pink cones. (The Watermelon cake batter, made with watermelon jello for flavoring, is baked right in the cones. Learn how to bake them upside down…it’s really easy!) Watermelon Cupcake Cones Ingredients Cupcakes 1 box white cake mix 4 eggs 1 cup buttermilk {splash of vinegar in a measuring cup, fill with milk and let set a couple minutes} 1/3 cup oil 1 small box watermelon jello 1 cup mini chocolate chips Cones Pink and Green Ice Cream Cones {available at Walmart or Kroger} Frosting - white, pink and green Food Writers - green and black Mini Chocolate Chips Green Jimmies Decorator Bag fitted with #1M round tip Instructions Cupcakes Mix together cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, oil and jello.
