Let Her Eat Cake...bringing back a Memory

 Insomnia... I have it quite often... for once I was happy it happened.  I was trolling my FB page and saw a post about my fiend Hannah in England baking cake vs. cupcake. I had a flashback to the 70's of Ice cream cone cupcakes and made the suggestion..YAY she made them... then I did.. :D
  There was a big trend back in the 70's (when I was just a wee little Wheezy) about baking cupcakes in the old style ice cream cones.  It avoided the messy little papers, kept little hands cleaned, saved on clean up, and were darn cute.  It was nice after having some nasty memories float forward to have a great one leap to the top.  So for my baby Lassie's fifteenth birthday I made her some.

Angel Food Ice cream cone cupcakes

24 old fashioned cone cups (any color or flavor)
8 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
4 cups powdered sugar
1 (8oz) cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
splash milk

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Set cones in casserole dish to hold upright
Whip 8 egg whites to stiff peaks- then add sugar

gentlely fold in flour a little at a time to avoid lumps

Batter should be nice and stiff.. I use little scoop for inside cone then big scoop for top. Since the batter is stiffer you can make them a little higher. If you use regular cake batter then leave 1/4 inch from top of cone or it will run over and make a mess.
Bake cones for about 5 minutes cake will be lightly browned and look nice and dry inside.

Let these cute little pups cool... Let's whip some frosting..
Whip softened cream cheese until fluffy, throw in butter, and whip whip whip.
Slowly (and I mean slowly) add powdered sugar  ( add too much at too high of a speed and POOF  powdered sugar everywhere)  when nice stiff frosting add just a splash of milk for creamy .

When cones are complete cool  frost anyway you want! have fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LASSIE!
So I talked my Sweet Hannah into sharing some of  her pictures and memories with me... These pictures delighted me and made my Insomnia worth it

I think Sweet William approves!  GREAT JOB  Hannah!
  So LET THEM EAT CAKE!
