Take your ice cream cones and, using a large tablespoon, fill each cone half full with the delicious batter. Put the filled ice cream cones on an oven tray. Allowing children to get crafty and creative gives them the opportunity to make their own choices and express themselves in a range of ways!

To start, prepare the ice cream cones by cutting out strips of foil and wrapping them around each cone. Fold the overhanging foil around the base of the cone, a bit like a skirt, this will help to stabalise them in the cupcake tin. Place the foil wrapped cones into a cupcake tin.

Finally, find Halloween crafts for your little ones to enjoy on this Six Halloween Crafts for the Classroom blog. What does this Halloween activity include? The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. The cones will go softer over time due to the moisture from the buttercream. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream. Can you make the cupcakes with plain/all purpose flour? Halloween Hand Puppets - These are a fun craft and a wonderful way to make telling stories more interactive.

How can you use our KS1 Halloween art activities?Once your cone cupcakes have cooled completely, take your Halloween Frosting and place the frosting in a piping bag with a nozzle attached. In round motion, pipe a generous serving of the frosting on top of each cone cupcake. Add an extra Halloween element by squeezing some Red Writing Icing on the sides of the frosting around the edges of each of cone. Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Therefore if you want to swap it for plain or all purpose flour, you will need to add some additional baking powder and also a little salt if you like. Some people like to add salt to cake recipes and some don't, so I'll leave that up to you as it won't affect the bake. The general advice is to add 2 teaspoons baking powder (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) per every 200g plain or all purpose flour. So for this recipe you'd need to add 1 + ¼ teaspoons baking powder. Please note, I have not tested this recipe using plain or all purpose flour. Can the cupcakes be made gluten or dairy free? Simple Halloween crafts are a fun way to help children build on a vast range of skills and refine their crafting techniques!
