{ Hello Summer: Ice Cream Cone Cakes! }

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

Well, the warm weather is here! I'm sure you're going to be celebrating birthdays, graduations, barbeques, family gatherings and more this Summer. If you're searching for a simple, yet delicious dessert, I've got just the thing for you!!

I wanted to make the last day of school for Christian a special one, so I invited a few of his friends over to have a little "school is out" party! I thought it would be a lot of fun to make ice cream cone cakes! They are really easy to make and I let the kids decorate their own!

Here's what you're going to need:

• 1 box of Betty Crocker SuperMoist party rainbow chip cake mix
• Water, vegetable oil and eggs (as directed on the cake box)
• 24 ct. flat- bottom ice cream cones
• 1 container Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy frosting
• cupcake pan

I gathered the kids around the kitchen island and allowed each of them to help by adding all the ingredients and stirring the batter. When making cupcakes, I always prepare the batter in a spouted measuring cup so it's easy to pour into the pan. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full and place an ice cream cone upside down into the batter; repeat for remaining. Bake at 350 for for 16-22 minutes. Allow cakes to cool completely.

While the cakes were cooling, I set up a few ingredients on the kitchen table for the kids to decorate them with! We had icing, sprinkles, M&M's and cherries. The kids had so much for decorating them, and I had a blast watching them! This is the perfect idea for a kids birthday party, setting up all the ingredients and allowing each child to create their own!

I think we had a pretty successful celebration! The kids agreed by giving a big thumbs up :)
