Recipe Notes

Unlike regular cupcakes these waffle cones are not recommended to make in prior and store in refrigerator. The cones were crispy and icing also hold it shapes for 3-4 hours after decoration. You can make the icing 1-2 days in advance and store in refrigerator till use, bring to room temperature, whip it for a while and decorate over cupcakes as you prefer.
