• Make cake batter as directed on box. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup.
• Bake 16 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean (cones may tilt on batter). Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting, and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered.

CAKES IN A CONE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to directions. Fill each cone about 3/4 full of batter, up to first ridge. Place cones in the cups of a cupcake pan or on cookie sheets.

CUPCAKE-STUFFED ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stand the ice cream cones upright in the cups of two 12-cup muffin tins (or bake them in batches if you only have 1 tin).
• Whisk together the oil and eggs in a bowl. Add the cake mix, vanilla extract and 1 cup water and mix until no lumps remain. Divide the cake batter into 3 bowls. Tint each batter with a different color gel food coloring (pink, purple and green), adding as much as needed until the desired shade is reached.
• Fill the cones with the batter, alternating colors, until halfway full (they expand as they bake). Using a skewer in an up-and-down motion, marble the batter in each cone 2 to 3 times. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, microwave the pink, purple, blue and green melting candy wafers in 4 separate microwave-safe bowls (one color in each bowl) for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating for 5 to 10 seconds at a time, stirring, until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted candy into mermaid tail silicone molds (2- to 3-inch tails), alternating colors. Place in the freezer for 6 to 8 minutes to set. Continue the process until you have enough mermaid tails.
• Spread the cooled cupcakes with the blue frosting. Press a mermaid tail into the center of each cupcake, about 1/4 inch into the frosting.

MINI CAKE CONES

Place bottom of 1 ice cream cone over each hole, then carefully press cone through foil so cone stands upright in muffin cup. Spoon cake batter into cones, filling each about 3/4 full.
• Bake 12 to 15 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool completely.

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until frothy. Whisk in the butter, milk and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin; you can stir in more milk if needed.
• Heat a small skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and turn to spread out the batter into a thin circle. When the underside is golden brown, flip over and cook until golden on the other side. Remove from the pan and form into a cone while it's hot, squeezing the end to seal. Place on a wire rack to cool and harden completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Remove from heat and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes. Mixture should thicken slightly but still be pourable (if it thickens too much, return bowl to pot of simmering water for 10 to 15 seconds).
• Ganache: Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Pour over chopped chocolate; let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in malt powder, if using.
• Assembly: Dip top of cones (about 1/2 inch) into shell, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Roll in nuts. Transfer to freezer until set, 2 to 3 minutes.

ICE CREAM CONE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the cones in a muffin tin to hold them upright.
• Put the butter, flour, custard powder, vanilla, sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric whisk until smooth. If you have nimblefingered little helpers, hand round pairs of teaspoons and set them to work filling the cones. If you're making them yourself, spoon the cake batter into a food bag or disposable piping bag, snip off the end to give you a wide hole, then pipe into the cones, filling them ¾ full - this will enable you to get the batter right to the bottom.
• Bake the cone cakes, still in the muffin tin, for 30 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool.
• To decorate the cakes, beat the butter until smooth, then add the icing sugar and vanilla, and beat again until well mixed. Put into a piping bag fitted with a big star nozzle, then pipe icing on top of each cake as you would a cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles, cherries, drizzles of sauce - whatever you like.
