Any box cake mix
24 flat bottomed ice cream cones
Any cake icing
Any decorations

Mix cake batter according to box directions. Place cones on cookie sheet. Fill half full of cake mix. Bake as you would cupcakes according to directions on box. Cool cupcake cones completely. Top with any cake icing (ready made frosting is easiest). Decorate anyway you like! Best part: there's no mess to throw away when the kids are finished eating them!
