6 Pre Filled Halloween Sweet Cones

Product Information

This lovely monster cone activity is great for developing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and cutting techniques! To make the cupcake batter, mix together the butter (or baking spread) and caster sugar. Then whisk in eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Next add self raising flour and fold or whisk in gently. The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. The cones will go softer over time due to the moisture from the buttercream. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream. Can you make the cupcakes with plain/all purpose flour?

Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Therefore if you want to swap it for plain or all purpose flour, you will need to add some additional baking powder and also a little salt if you like. Some people like to add salt to cake recipes and some don't, so I'll leave that up to you as it won't affect the bake. The general advice is to add 2 teaspoons baking powder (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) per every 200g plain or all purpose flour. So for this recipe you'd need to add 1 + ¼ teaspoons baking powder. Please note, I have not tested this recipe using plain or all purpose flour. Can the cupcakes be made gluten or dairy free? Allowing children to get crafty and creative gives them the opportunity to make their own choices and express themselves in a range of ways!

To start, prepare the ice cream cones by cutting out strips of foil and wrapping them around each cone. Fold the overhanging foil around the base of the cone, a bit like a skirt, this will help to stabalise them in the cupcake tin. Place the foil wrapped cones into a cupcake tin. For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking. Yes! For gluten free you can replace the self raising flour with a gluten free self raising flour blend. If you only have a gluten free plain flour blend, you will need to add baking powder. The general advice is to add 2 tsp baking powder per 200g flour, so for this recipe you'd need to add 1 + ¼ teaspoons baking powder. You may also like to add ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum for better texture. For a dairy free version, use a dairy free baking spread and dairy free milk for the cupcakes and the buttercream. Do you need an electric mixer to make this recipe?

In round motion, pipe a generous serving of the frosting on top of each cone cupcake. Add an extra Halloween element by squeezing some Red Writing Icing on the sides of the frosting around the edges of each of cone.
