CUPCAKE CONES
You found this great recipe to make cupcakes inside Ice Cream Cones. You decide to make them up the night before your child’s birthday to take into school/daycare.
For successful cupcake cones this is step is VERY important! Take all of the ice cream cones out of the package and inspect them carefully! If there are ANY and I mean ANY breaks, cracks or missing pieces from the tops of the cones, do not use them.
Do not overfill the cones either. The cake is not meant to puff up over the top of the cone. What you are seeing on those cute pictures is frosting.
If you are not lucky enough to have a cupcake cone pan, I used a miniature muffin pan. The cup sizes were just small enough to hold the cone in place while transferring in and out of the oven.

i was wondering, if i do not have enough muffin pans or any at all for that matter, could i just bake them close together on a cake pan either glass or metal? thank you in advance..
You could use a cake pan, I would use metal as first choice, glass for second. Open the oven and place the pan in the oven, then place your filled cones in the pan. You may have to let bake a few minutes longer due to heat loss from this process, but you will avert a disaster if your cones shift while carrying in a pan....
I want to make the cupcake cones for a valentine party....I will have to make them the night before...will they still be fresh? is their something I need to do to keep them from getting stale or soggy....would it help if I put them in the fridge until the night they are needed?
Do not refrigerate them unless you absolutely have to. They will get soggy from the moisture. If you can, store them unfrosted in a tightly sealed container over night and then frost in the morning.
How do you transport them?
I looked and found that Joy does make a baking pan&carrier is not available for purchase online. You can get an order form on boxes of Joy Ice Cream cones.
Short of buying one you can find a box that is large enough to hold them and gently stand them up. You can try to use crumpled up freezer or wax (foodsafe) paper to help stabilize stragglers.
If you can, wait until you get to your destination to frost.
