Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

The trick to baking the chocolate cupcakes in the cone is to make sure not to fill the cone to high. The cake batter expands about 33% so leave plenty of headroom for that. Unlike traditional cupcakes, any batter that rises over the cone will just spill out and over. Better to underestimate the amount and make up the difference with the frosting. Be sure to use sprinkles to give it that true ice cream cone look, but the cherry on top is completely optional.
