"This combination of two favourite sweet treats - cupcakes and ice cream cones - is the best of both worlds. When packing them to transport, snuggle them into a cookie tin, then insert a few toothpicks into cones around the edge of the tin and one in the centre to support some plastic wrap so you don't mar the icing...."
