  4. The watermelon cake looks delish!! Add a glass of milk and I’m god for dinner! 🙂

  5. I love the ice cream cone cupcakes, and I have made this recipe from Betty Crocker. They now suggest you put the batter in the cupcake tin, then put the cone on top, upside down. It didn’t work well for me, they came out very lopsided, etc. I’d like to try again, but not sure if I would do it this way! however, in the end, they are so cute and fun!

    I am concerned after reading and re-reading the infographic and Rosie’s comment about putting the cone upside down over the batter in the tin. I really love this idea and really would love to make for my great-neice’s birthday. Just don’t want them falling over due to being top heavy. I will have to try this idea in advance for sure, but I love it!

  7. i love these ideas

    That watermelon cake looks delicious and festive. I would love to serve this to my nieces and nephews next summer. Will bookmark.

  9. Love those ice cream cone cupcakes! I know this was a summer post, but what a fun way to liven up the dead of winter. My girls love ice cream cones year-round!

    I used to make the ice cream cone cupcakes all the time! We loved them and they were so fun and easy to do. The toughest part was balancing them in the oven 🙂

  11. The watermelon cake looks the most fun to me. They are both cute!

  12. I’ve made the ice cream cupcakes and used their mix. I don’t suggest you put the cones upside down like that, mine came out terribly lopsided, they looked awful. Next time I’m making this, I’m doing it like usual and putting the cone into the muffin pan and the mix on top.
