Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake Cones
Ingredients
1 box pumpkin or spice cake mix, prepared in a 13 x 9-inch pan according to package directions and completely cooled
1/4 cup espresso frosting, plus more as needed- homemade or store bought.
10–12 Joy sugar cones
1 bag white melting wafers
Orange oil-based food coloring
Fall sprinkles
Fall icing decorations
Vanilla buttercream, homemade or store-bought
Coffee cup icing decorations
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the white melting wafers according to the package directions. Stir in a small amount of orange oil-based candy color until you reach your desired shade.
Dip the top edge of each sugar cone into the orange chocolate, then immediately add fall sprinkles. Place the cones on the prepared baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.
Use a small amount of the remaining melted chocolate to attach one fall icing decoration to the side of each cone. Let set completely.
Crumble half of the cooled cake into a large bowl until you have fine crumbs. Save the remaining cake for another use.
Add 1/4 cup espresso frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until combined. The mixture should hold together easily when pressed. Add additional frosting, 1 tablespoon at a time, only if needed.
Press the cake mixture firmly into each decorated sugar cone, filling it to the top.
Place the filled cones in a cone holder or individual shallow cups to keep them upright.
Pipe a generous swirl of vanilla buttercream over each cone.
Finish each one with a coffee cup icing decoration.
