Olympic Torch Cone Cupcakes

Ingredients
  

  • One orange cake mix prepared according to the package instructions (An 8.25-ounce Funfetti Orange All Star Cake Mix makes exactly the right amount of batter for 12 cupcakes)
  • 12 sugar ice cream cones
  • Cupcake cone baking rack
  • 1 container vanilla frosting
  • Red yellow and orange gel food coloring
  • Piping bags and tips This 3-color swirl coupler set creates a great "flamelike" effect
  • Yellow and red sugar sprinkles
  • Chocolate gold coin candies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the 12 ice cream cones into the openings of the cone baking rack. Use a small ice cream scoop or a spoon to fill the cones with batter, leaving about 1/2" unfilled at the top of the cone. Place the baking rack and filled cones in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes are cooling, divide the vanilla frosting among three bowls. Add the food coloring to the frosting in the bowls, and mix well with a spoon.
  • Fill piping bags with the tinted frosting (or, if using a swirl piping setI used, prep the bag/couplers according to the product instructions).
  • Pipe swirls of the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes, creating a flame effect. Next, sprinkle on the yellow and red sugar sprinkles for some extra pizzazz before finishing everything off with a gold medal for extra good luck as you root on your team.
