Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Place 18 ice cream cones upright into a cupcake pan.

Prepare the cake batter following the directions.

Pour the batter into the ice cream cones, filling them 2/3 of the way full.

Bake the torches for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden, springy when touched or a toothpick comes out clear. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

While the torches are cooling, prepare the icing. Separate the icing into two mixing bowls. In one add about 3 drops of yellow food colouring and mix well. In the second bowl add about 3 drops of yellow and 2 drops of red food colouring and mix well (this should create orange).

Using a spatula or knife frost the cupcakes starting with the yellow icing, make waves and peaks for some fun detailing. Once the top of the cupcake is covered, add some orange icing to the top in different patterns, get creative! Finally when done, add one drop of red food colouring to each cupcake. This is optional as it can get messy! Blend the red food colouring slightly to create a red flame look.
