Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 24 vanilla cupcakes standard 2.5-inch base, cooled
  • 1 batch buttercream about 4 cups
  • 12 edible sugar cones
  • 1 cup white candy melts
  • Food gel: pink purple, gold (small tubs)
  • Assorted sprinkles 1/2 cup
  • 1 cardboard cake circle 10-inch
  • Toothpicks 24

Method
 

  1. Melt candy melts in microwave: 30s, stir, then 15s until smooth. Tint small bowls with pink, purple, gold.
  2. Dip each sugar cone halfway in a color, twist to swirl, set on parchment to harden (10–15 min).
  3. Fit a toothpick into cone base, insert into cupcake center. Press gently so cone sits upright.
  4. Pipe a swirl of buttercream around each cone base to hide the toothpick and smooth edges.
  5. Arrange cupcakes on the 10-inch circle in concentric rings, largest on outside. Sprinkle decorations.
  6. Chill 15 minutes to set buttercream before transport.
