Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Fill each sugar cone with about 2 tablespoons of batter and place them upright on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cones start to rise and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once the cones are cool, carefully trim any excess cake from the tops to create a clean edge. Evenly spray the cones with black color mist food coloring, ensuring full coverage. Allow the coating to dry completely.
• Divide the creamy white decorator icing into separate bowls, reserving some for the base. Color one bowl with lemon yellow, then choose rose or violet for another. Transfer your colored icing into piping bags.
• Pipe a small dollop of orange icing onto the center of each chocolate cookie. Carefully position a colored sugar cone on top of each cookie, pressing gently. Pipe additional orange or purple icing around the cone's base.
• Allow the orange icing to set for about five minutes. Once firm, pipe a cheerful yellow buckle around the band of each cone. Allow to dry completely.
