Steps:

• Prepare cake mix batter according to directions, or make any standard cake recipe batter (i.e. white, chocolate, etc.).
• Place flat-bottomed ice cream cones in the cups of a regular muffin pan. Pour enough batter into each cone to fill from 1/2 to 2/3 full.
• Bake at time and temperature as recommended for cupcakes. After they have cooled, frost with your favorite canned or home-prepared frosting recipe. Decorate with sprinkles or other decorations of your choice.

CHRISTMAS TREE ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Slice the pound cake crosswise 1/2 inch thick. Place an ice cream cone open-side down on 1 slice and stamp out a round of cake; remove the round to a plate. Repeat until you have 8 rounds of cake. (Save the cake scraps for another use).
• Turn a cardboard egg carton upside down. Cut a hole big enough to snuggly fit the pointy side of a sugar cone in 8 of the cups with a sharp paring knife. Insert 1 cone into each prepared hole. Fill the cones with ice cream, leaving 1/2 inch of space at the top. Press the cake rounds on top of the ice cream to cap it off. Place the egg carton in the freezer while you make the meringue.
• Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water, but not touching the water.
• Whisk the sugar, egg whites, vanilla and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue to whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg whites are slightly frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until the meringue is cool and can hold very stiff peaks, about 6 minutes. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
• Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a small star piping tip (see Cook's Note). Working with 1 cone at a time (leave the remaining in the freezer so the ice cream does not melt), place round-side down on a wire rack-lined baking sheet then pipe small stars all over the cone until completely covered. Decorate with sprinkles. Transfer to a plate and freeze while you decorate the remaining cones. Alternatively, use a small offset spatula to spread the meringue onto the cones and then decorate with sprinkles. Freeze until ready to serve, up to 3 days.
