Ice Cream Cone Shaped Birthday Cake Ideas

Creating a cake shaped and decorated like an ice-cream cone makes birthdays especially fun!


Almost everyone enjoys eating cake, but ice-cream cone shaped cakes are an especially fun treat for children and adults! This year, celebrate a loved one's birthday by making them a cake they'll never forget. Add this to my Recipe Box.


Ice-Cream Cone Shaped Cake Pan


Creating a cake that resembles an ice-cream cone is easy with a speciality pan shaped like a cone. Cake decorating companies, including Wilton and craft stores, sell these pans for under twenty dollars. To make, simply fill the pan with cake batter and bake. Allow to cool, then cover the cone part with yellow frosting and the ice-cream scoops with different colored frosting, such as green or brown to resemble mint and chocolate. Adorn with sprinkles and serve!


Ice-Cream Cone Cut-Out Cakes


If you have difficulty finding an ice-cream cone shaped cake pan, you can make your own cone-shaped mini-cakes by purchasing an ice-cream cone shaped cookie cutter. Simply bake a sheet cake, allow it to cool, and then press the cookie cutter into the cake to create cone-shaped cakes. Next, frost with different colored frosting, such as yellow for the cone and brown for the scooped ice-cream top. Decorate with sprinkles and serve. Enjoy!


Ice-Cream Cone Cupcakes


Another alternative if you don't want to buy a speciality pan is to bake cake batter in ice cream cones. To begin, gather a boxed cake mix, twenty-four kiddie ice-cream cones, and cupcake pan liners. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, or 325 for dark or non-stick pans, and place paper baking cups in cupcake pan holders. Next, pour the batter into the cupcake liners and fill until about two-thirds full. Place an ice-cream cone upside down on top of the batter in each cup. Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes or until completely cooled. Remove the paper lining from each cupcake. Decorate the cakes with white frosting and sprinkles to make them look like ice-cream cones covered in whipped cream.
