Soft Serve Cupcake Cone
(Makes 3 dozen)
For the cupcake cones
36 ice cream cones
1 box chocolate cake mix
(Important: Avoid "Pudding in the mix". Kupcake Konz recommends Duncan Hines. I used the Trader Joe's brand and it worked perfectly. You can also use your favorite homemade recipe, but should steer clear of extra moist recipes).
For the icing
(adapted from Martha Stewart's Hi-Hat frosting recipe)
3/4 cup water
5 1/4 cups granulated sugar
9 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
For the chocolate coating
16 oz. chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
