Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 drop red food coloring, or desired amount
1 drop green food coloring, or desired amount
1 drop yellow food coloring, or desired amount
1 drop blue food coloring, or desired amount
24 flat-bottomed wafer ice cream cones in assorted colors
1 (16 ounce) container prepared vanilla frosting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a bowl until moistened; beat the batter with an electric mixer set on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Divide cake batter into 4 equal portions in separate bowls. Tint each bowl a different color, stirring in red, green, yellow, and blue food coloring to reach desired shade.
Set ice cream cones upright in 24 muffin cups.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of each colored batter into cones, leaving about 1 inch of room from the top.
Carefully transfer cones to the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a filled cone comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool cupcakes thoroughly before decorating, about 1 hour.

Cook's Notes:

I've made these cones on numerous occasions - birthdays, holidays etc... they are a BIG hit with kids and adults. I adjust the cake colors for the occasion I am baking for (example: Christmas - red/green; Memorial Day, red/white/blue).

If making for a bunch of kids, I like to place cones upside down in cupcake papers (looks like a melted ice cream cone).
