Instructions

For the ice cream cone cupcakes:

  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow to cool before serving.

For the Olympic torch cupcakes:

  1. Using edible food color markers, draw the 5 Olympic rings on the front of each cone.
  2. Choose a store-bought orange frosting or tint frosting orange with food coloring, and frost the top of each ice cream cone cupcake.
  3. Cut fruit roll-ups into flame-like shapes with kitchen scissors and arrange on the top of each cupcake to look like a torch.
