We are leading up to Abby’s 5th birthday. There are a lot of elements involved, so it’s all about ice cream this week. Well, sort of. I guess today it’s all about cupcakes….cupcakes made to look like ice cream.
Corban helped me make the white velvet cake.
Cut an ice cream cone in half and then stack up the cupcakes.
Next, mix up your frosting, add color and find your tips 12 and 3. I used my real butter buttercream. It’s really humid right now here, so I actually added a bit of shortening and powdered sugar to stiffen it up a bit. Decorate with the frosting. I didn’t use tons of piping techniques, trying to make it look fluffy like ice cream. I did the main piping with a tip 12. The hot fudge I did with a store bought chocolate and piped with a 12. Then, sprinkle on nuts, sprinkles and mini-chocolate chips. I got this idea from Oh Party.

That is soooo cute! Perfect for a summer party!
Thank you, Lorie. If only summer had hit our house that day.
Cute idea! Thanks so much for your kind comment on my red, white and blue post!
Thanks for stopping by here too. Fun to have found you!
i love this! maybe I should do it for Lucy’s party….
You should. It’s not too hard. The white velvet cake is easy too…even for an admitted non-baker like yourself. Just do me a favor, measure accurately this time….even if it seems tedious.
Wowwww these are soooooooooooo cute
I love this – it’s perfect for any kids party
Thank you. They were super easy to make. I don’t have tons of frosting experience, and you just kind of swirl it on.
So cute!
Thank you, Mimi. You have the most adorable kids stuff over at your site. I’m so glad you stopped by here.
Very cute! I know some kids who would think they would get to eat all five cupcakes themself. Thanks for sharing at Etcetorize this week!
Seriously! I think they all loaded up on too much ice cream to eat too many of these in one sitting. Thanks!
