Made these for the monthly birthday celebration at work. Chocolate cupcakes baked in wafer cones and topped with basic vanilla buttercream and star shaped sprinkles. I pondered making a swiss buttercream, but at 11:30 at night, I just didn't have the energy.
I saw this idea in an issue of Gourmet or Bon Appetit a couple years back and have wanted to make them since. I probably won't do it again though. While the cake was very moist and the frosting was amazing (as usual), the cones took on a somewhat stale consistency during baking. No one else complained about them, but I was not satisfied.
In the end, I triumphed because they were still adorable. One of my coworkers said that her daughter had made them for her daughter's birthday but instead of using the wafer cones, she baked them in waffle dishes, and did not have the stale cone problem. I may have to try that.
