FEATURED PHOTO: APPEARANCES CAN BE DECIEVING

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

The photo above may look like three delicious soft serve vanilla ice cream cones, but the treats are actually cupcakes! Thanks to Glorious Treats for letting us use this very tempting photo. If you’re looking for a recipe to make these treats, check one out here. We can’t promise they’ll look as tempting as these, but they’ll probably taste just as good!

What could be better than cake that looks like ice cream!

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes have been a favorite in my family for many, many years. No one in my family is creative enough to make them look soooo good. However, it is taste that matters the most. (A couple good scoops of Turkey Hill Ice Cream will improve any that may look better than taste.)

What a great looking treat. Finally ice cream that won’t melt. It does need some Turkey Hill on the side though.

yummy though there needs to be TH along side to be best

Could have fooled me I thought they were ice cream. I am going to try to make them. Thanks Turkey Hill for all the facts, recipes and fun!

I made them a few years ago when my niece and nephew were small. They were a bit hit. Now I just fill the cones with TH ice cream when my niece and nephew come to visit, which is quite often since they know I have alot of TH in the freezer. Linda

I would rather have the real thing. I tried making these for a birthday party one time and the cones turned out soggy. Maybe I did something wrong.


Jacqueline wrote:

Wow! How clever. Sure looks like ice cream to me. Cupcakes are okay but I prefer ice cream any day.

I’m an avid baker and I was fooled!!! So cute!

They are so realistic! They should be a great hit with the kids who like both ice cream and cupcakes. And of course we adults have our sweet tooth, too. I’ll have to try the recipe but not,of course, before I indulge in some Turkey Hill ice cream.

Sorry, but I like my cake to look like cake and ice cream to look like ice cream.

Good Afternoon to all Turkey Hill Fans,
They do look so good, But They can pass for Ice cream, I know you can make cup cake like that. The top could be white frosting or whipped cream they sure look good.Think how they made them by pouring the cake or cupcakes batter into ice cream cone. and Bake until done. then you frost with your flavor frosting.
They don’t take the place of turkey hill ice cream

That IS decieving! I had to look twice once I figured out they weren’t really ice cream. But they look delicious just the same.

I made these or similar when my daughter was younger in grammar school! They are great! Barbara

Look almost too good to eat-not.


Sarah wrote:

These look delicious but I’m guessing that has to be whipped cream on the top. It would be hard to duplicate that soft serve appearance with frosting.


Rosemary wrote:

They look delicious! I’d like to try to make them but can anyone tell me if you use regular ice cream cones or are they special ones and if they are special, where would I buy them? Thanks!


Carol Triano wrote:

Those look great,I do not think I could get my icing to look like that, I got the recipe on the website you provided so I am going to try it tonight….just hope mine taste as good as yours look.

My boys are now grown,, 32, 28 & 24,, but when they were young, I made the “ice cream cone cupcakes” to take into school for their b/d treats. They were a big hit because there was no messy cupcake papers to dispose of, they stood upright in the carrier and all the kids loved them. I do have to admit though, that my icing ontop didn’t look nearly as real or as good as the ones in your picture!

I have been making cupcakes in cones for quite a few years when the kids were younger. Have to confess, never looked as good as these, tasted good though


Kathy P wrote:

That photo brings back memories. I tried to make these cupcakes once for one of my children and I have no clue what I did, however they did not look that delicious! I have printed this recipe and will give it another try! :)


Margaret M wrote:

Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. My grandson always asks me to make cupcakes instead of cake so this will be perfect for him (and the rest of us!)

I’m going to try with a chocolate version. The 99 cent store sells those cones in chocolate so I’ll try it 2 day & let u know the outcome.

Those cupcakes look great. Hard to believe that it’s not ice cream.
