I'm thinking back many, many years, but I do recall making cupcakes in
cake-like ice cream cones. You stood the cones in muffin tins, poured
the batter in them and when they were baked and cool, iced them.

They looked like ice cream cones and were all the rage at Cambridge
Elementary School in Kendall Park (South Brunswick Township), NJ in the
mid-late 1970's.
