1. Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?

Yes, you can make Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes in advance. They can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just add the frosting and toppings before serving for the freshest taste.

2. How do I prevent the cones from tipping over in the oven?

Using muffin tins to hold the cones while baking is a great way to keep them steady. If you don't have enough, you can also use a baking sheet with crumpled aluminum foil to create small pockets to hold them upright.

3. Can I use different types of cake mix?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any flavor of cake mix you like, such as vanilla, red velvet, or even lemon. The goal is to create a combination you and your guests will enjoy.

4. Can I freeze leftover Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes?

Yes, you can freeze the cupcakes without frosting. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. Just remember to frost them after thawing for the best flavor.

5. What can I do if my frosting melts?

If your frosting is melting, it might be due to warm cupcakes or a hot room temperature. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting, and consider refrigerating the frosted cupcakes for a short time to set the frosting before serving.
