CONFETTI CUPS ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
• Make cake batter as directed on box. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup.
• Bake 16 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean (cones may tilt on batter). Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting, and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour both Secret Center Cake Pans and the insert with the small individual wells. Place the insert in one of the pans and set aside. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. If using a plain white cake mix, stir in the rainbow sprinkles.Pour 2 cups (500 mL) of batter into the cake pan with the insert. Add the remaining batter into the other cake pan. Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (The pan without the insert may take an additional 2–3 minutes to bake.) Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a cooling rack and cool completely. For the frosting, beat the butter, vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups (750 mL) of powdered sugar and beat on medium speed until combined, 1–2 minutes. Add the milk and continue beating until blended, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining powdered sugar and beat on medium-high speed until well blended and fluffy, about 2 minutes. To assemble, trim the rounded tops (crown) off the cake layers, if necessary for easier assembly. Place the layer with the secret center wells on a plate or cake board. Frost or pipe around each of the wells and in the center of the cake. Spoon 1 tbsp (15 mL) of sprinkles or candies into each of the wells. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the outside of the cake and decorate as desired.
