These Maple Mummy Cupcakes Cones have a maple yellow cake mix baked in ice cream cones and decorated like mummies.
I got the idea for these Maple Mummy Cupcake Cones when I saw cupcake cones upside down to make Frankensteins on Pinterest.
Mummies sounded like a much better idea to me because I’m horrible at decorating.
So a cupcake that I can go all Jackson Pollock on works for me. 😀
I’m here for all of you, who like me, did not get the decorting gene.
If you aren’t a fan of maple you can omit the maple syrup and maple extract.
These could be lemon, vanilla, basically any flavor you want.
I made these maple because a few years back I made Maple Mummy Oatmeal Cookie Cream Pies for #HalloweenTreatsWeek and loved them.
So I went for maple here too.
Ingredient Highlights:
- Ice cream cones – It is best to find cones with a flat base so that they stand up in the cupcake tins. I like to use mini ones but you can do full size as well.
- Yellow Cake Mix – Yes, I used a box cake for this. These were made for kiddos and they didn’t care that it was boxed. 🙂
- Eggs – Use large eggs for this recipe. At room temperature works best.
- Maple Syrup – I am a grade B maple syrup gal. But that is hard to find. But if you can, get it. It has more flavor in my opinion. If not, use grade A.
- Maple Extract – Not required but if you would
- Milk – I suggest using whole milk or 2%.
- White Chocolate Chips – Do you best to find real white chocolate. Most of the chips sold are vanilla chips. Which you can certainly use. Or you can use candy melts.
Could you make these using full sized cones?
Absolutely.
My guess is you would get about 24 full size cones.
But how many you get and how long to bake them for will change dramatically.
I would bake the full sized ones for about 20-22 minutes.
Also be sure to only filled them halfway.
You don’t want spillage.
Personally, I like them best as minis.
While I used white chocolate to make my coating you can use candy melts.
However, I use the white chocolate because it tastes better.
The oil is needed to get a smoother finish but also while the chocolate still hardens, the oil helps keep it softer.
So you don’t break your teeth biting into it. 🙂
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀
