Children's Party Cakes Recipes - Ice Cream Cones

Ingredients

  • 115g marzipan

  • 9 ice cream cones

  • 9 sponge fairy cakes

  • 350g butter icing

  • red, green and brown food coloring

  • colored and chocolate vermicelli, wafers and chocolate sticks

  • sweets

  • 3 12-egg egg boxes foil


Method:

  1. Make the stands for the cakes by turning the egg boxes upside down and pressing three balls of marzipan into evenly spaced holes in each box. Wrap the boxes in foil. Pierce the foil above the marzipan balls and insert the cones, pressing them in gently.

  2. Gently push a fairy cake into each cone. If the bases of the cakes are too large, trim them down with a small, sharp knife. The cakes should be quite secure in the cones.

  3. Divide the butter icing into three bowls and tint them pale red, green and brown.

  4. Using a small palette knife, spread each cake with some of one of the icings, making sure that the finish on the icing is a little textured so it looks like ice cream.

  5. To insert a wafer or chocolate stick into an ice cream, use a small, sharp knife to make a hole through the icing and into the cake, then insert the wafer or stick. Add the finishing touches to the cakes by sprinkling over some colored and chocolate vermicelli. Arrange sweets around the cones.
