MMMmmmm. The dirt cups look great - nothing to bake!
I was surfing the net, trying to find some idea for my soon-to-be 3 year old to take to daycare for his birthday treat. I was looking for cake batter baked in ice cream cones. I had made them in the past, but turned out kind-of soggy.
But I found this idea on the Betty Crocker site (maybe everyone else already knew this): Instead of pouring the batter into the ice cream cones to bake, you pour it into muffin cups (lined) and set the ice cream cone upside down on top of the batter. Then bake. Later, take off the paper liner and set the cone upright to decorate. I'm going to try it.
Then on another site, recipecircus.com, I found the idea to make your cake the color or flavor you want by adding kool-aid to the mix. Ethan's really into Blue's Clues. So I'll make a white cake, mixing in blue koolaid, bake it in ice cream cones, and decorate them with paw prints.
It doesn't look too difficult, and the daycare kids should love it!
