ICE CREAM CONE CAKES
Any flavor cake mix
Flat-bottomed waffle ice cream cones (30 approx.)
Frosting
Sugar decorations
Prepare any flavor layer cake mix as directed on the package. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into each of the waffle cones. Fill a scant half full; if cones are filled more than this, batter will run over top. Set in square or oblong pan and bake as directed for cupcakes. Cool. Frost with any favorite frosting and decorate with candies. Do not store in an airtight container as the cones will soften.

CHOCOLATE CONECAKES WITH FROSTING
--CONECAKES:--
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. water
3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
1/4 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
10 ice cream cones (flat bottoms)
--FROSTING:--
1/3 c. cream cheese
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
2. In a saucepan, mix together butter (or margarine), water and cocoa powder. Stir all the time. When the butter is completely melted remove from heat and combine with the flour mixture in the bowl.
3. Use a big spoon and mix until everything is well blended.
4. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla, then beat again for another minute or two.
5. Pour into the ice cream cones. Fill to about an inch from the top. Put the ice cream cones into a muffin tin or a big baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

FROSTING:
Let the cream cheese sit out a while to soften, then mash it together with powdered sugar. Add the vanilla a little at a time. When mixed together evenly, it's done. BE SURE TO LET THE CONECAKES COOL BEFORE FROSTING THEM, OTHERWISE THE FROSTING WILL MELT.
