NEW TWIST ON ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES

 

1 box of cake mix ( any flavor)
1 can of white icing
1 can of chocolate icing
1 small bag of raspberry gummy drops or maraschino cherries ( rinsed and patted dry)
Waffle bowls

Make cake mix according to the direction on package. Place the waffle bowls in paper cup cake holders (edges may get a little dark, but it is ok). Fill bowls half full from the lowest point on the bowl . It may not look like much sometimes but if you fill too full it will overflow the bowl. Bake as usual. Once they are cool, then ice with the white icing. Soften the chocolate icing some so you can make all kind of swirls, just have fun with it. When done make what looks like a dollop of whip cream with some more of the white icing. Then top with your cherry.

NOTE: One box of cake mix will make 10 to 12 waffle bowls.
