Kids love these but they are hard to transport (my daughter likes them for her pre school snack). So I took a NEW Pizza box and cut holes in the top large enough for the ice cream cones. The spacing of the top of the box to the bottom of the box is the same length as the base of the cone, so it keeps the cupcakes in place, with no worries of them tipping or shifting during the trip!

Thank you Sarah! I make these for my kids birthdays, but hate the messy trip to school. I never make it there with them all upright. Great tip! I'm heading out for a pizza box now! My daughter is taking them tomorrow for her b-day:)

Another suggestion. You can put frosting in individual baggies for the kids to frost their own cupcakes. You but the tip off when you get to school and twist the top. They love it and you have no mess on the way to school!

I used a foil roasting pan with holes cut out to transport...might be easier to get from a dollar type store chain than a pizza box too.

I made these many times when my kids were in elementary school. They loved them! As a matter of fact, I got the idea from my mom as she used to make them for me for birthday treats at school (over 35 years ago). I always had trouble transporting them until I figured out that small mini muffin baking pans fit them perfectly! You can bake them, decorate them and transport them all in the same pan. Have fun!!
