Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake Cone
Hello faithful readers!
This is my entry in the 2010 Ice Cream Cupcake Roundup, sponsored by Cupcake Project and Scoopalicious. I’m vying to win an awesome Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker and an incredible prize pack from OXO including OXO Good Grips Solid Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop
Wish me luck! (I’ll let you know when the public voting begins.)
My inspiration was my ice cream cone-shaped cupcake pan that I got at Crate and Barrel. I wanted to bake some “cone” cupcakes and fill them with ice cream. But if you know me, you know that I have to be a little more flashy than that. So then I decided to turn the cone upside down and call my creation a Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake Cone!
The cupcake is a basic yellow cake, buttery and moist, dressed up with a little rum to complement the pineapple sorbet. YUMMY!
So, what do you think? Can I win this contest?
PS — Thanks to Audra for photography assistance.

Of course you can win! This looks perfect for summer.
And I see something else in your creation which makes it seem more fun. It looks like a clown, with his costume ruffle around the neck and cockeyed cone hat. With a little frosting pom-pon on top of the cone he’d be complete.
Maybe you could adapt the look for kid cupcake cones with a bright colored ice cream?
