Ice-cream cone cupcakes

An interesting ideas for cupcakes lover. If you gals have been reading my blog, you should have knew that i am still struggling to bake. Have this scary virus  revolting around my house for almost one month and my kids have already half recovered, but their poor mum caught it at last. Haa!!! Maybe it my will power to be strong for them till they are almost recover and my mentality relax and cave in to the horrible virus. These cupcakes are supposed to be so... beautiful done with a dome and some whipped cream pipe as topping to present it like a real ice-cream, but i was too tired. Even the photo was taken badly.
