Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Favorite Cake Mix
- 24 cookies Store Bought Chocolate Cookies
- 12 count Sugar Cones
- 1 can Black Color Mist Food Coloring Spray
- 1 cup Creamy White Decorator Icing
- 1 bottle Lemon Yellow Icing Color
- 1 bottle Rose Icing Color
- 1 bottle Violet Icing Color
- 1 bottle Golden Yellow Icing Color
- 1 bottle Orange Icing Color
Instructions
- Prepare the cones: Bake cake mix according to package instructions. Fill each sugar cone with about 2 tablespoons of batter and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool completely.
- Color the cones: Once cooled, trim excess cake from the top of the cones. Spray the cones with black color mist food coloring for even coverage, then let them dry completely.
- Tint the icing: Divide white decorator icing into bowls. Color one bowl lemon yellow and another with rose or violet icing color. Prepare piping bags.
- Assemble the hats: Pipe a small amount of orange icing onto the tops of each cookie for adhesive. Position a sugar cone on each cookie. Pipe orange or purple icing around the base of the cone to secure it.
- Finish with details: Allow the initial icing to set for a few minutes. Pipe a yellow buckle around the band of each cone and let it dry completely before serving.
Notes
- Bake and cool cones up to 24 hours ahead. Store dried cones in an airtight container.
- Decorate the cookies with icing on the same day for vibrant results.
- Allow black spray to dry completely before assembly to prevent smudging.
- Use a sharp knife for clean cuts when trimming cones.
- Ice cookies promptly after spraying for better icing adhesion.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
