With July 4th right around the corner, using blue ice cream cones instead of cupcake wrappers adds the perfect twist for traditional cupcake.

The cone is filled top to bottom with moist vanilla cake, and topped with homemade buttercream and some stars and stripes!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with the blue ice cream cones. Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to package instructions. Scoop batter 2⁄3 full into the ice cream cones.

Combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. (If you prefer a thicker frosting that holds its shape when icing, add more sugar until your desired consistency is reached.)
