Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Adjust oven racks so you can bake these on the lowest rack. Stack snow cone cups to make fourteen double-layered cups. Fill fourteen 2 ½-inch muffin cups with dried beans. Cover pan with heavy-duty foil. Press down on the foil so you can see the impressions of the round muffin cups. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make a slit in the foil over the center of each muffin cup. Place the double-layered snow cone cup, point side down, in each of the slits. Spray with baker’s cooking spray to help with removal of the cups. Set aside.

Prepare cake batter. Spoon batter into snow cone cups, filling each about half full (¼ cup). Bake about 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in muffin cups on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from muffin cups. Invert cakes and cool completely on wire racks. Carefully cut or peel paper cups away from cakes. Trim cakes bottom flat so the cakes will stand up.

As an option, fill cakes by using a melon baller or apple corer to remover some of the cake and fill as desired. Frost cakes, spreading frosting as smoothly as possible.

To decorate cakes, use contrasting colors to pipe lines, borders, or other designs onto frosted cakes. Press candies into frosting as desired.

Nana always used cone-shaped water cups but these days snow cone cups will be easier to find. You can turn these cakes in Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice hat or party hats.
