These adorable torch cupcakes are perfect for any Olympic-themed party. Makes 40 mini cupcakes.
You’ll Need
- 40 mini ice cream cones
- 1 vanilla cake recipe (homemade or boxed mix)
- 4 cups vanilla icing
- Orange gel-paste colouring
- Yellow gel-paste colouring
- Star-tipped piping bag
Prep and Cook
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil and stand mini ice cream cones upright on the baking sheet. - 2Prepare cake mixture as per package or recipe directions.
Pour batter into ice cream cones, filling them 2/3 full. - 3Bake for 12–15 minutes or until cakes are golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool completely. - 4To make the frosting, tint half of the icing orange and the other half yellow.
Fill one side of the piping bag with orange icing and the other side with yellow icing.
Twist the top of the bag tightly to push icing to the tip. This will help the colours to combine. - 5To ice the cone cupcakes, evenly squeeze icing out of the bag starting in the middle of the cone and work outwards around the edge twice and end in the middle.
As you pipe, the orange and yellow icing will combine to create a flame-coloured swirl.
